I am quite eager to try FreeBSD but am unsure really where to start. I went to your FTP site and saw the plethora of different directories and files and did not know where to begin. Is there somewhere I can get information on exactly what I need to download from your server to get an x-windows workstation up and running. My ultimate plans are to use this as a personal web server and personal growth in Linux use/administration. Thanks, -- Doug Finch Linux, the choice of a GNU generation.
