Hi Thanks to all for the explanation. I visited the page about ports and it looks like there is a huge number of applications to use. Although, it seems FreeBSD requieres a bit more knowledge than windows. Have you ever compared windows (definetively too much resources consuming), linux, FreeBeOS (i do not remember if tis one is open source, I guess not) to FreeBSD?
