Greetings,
I am in the process of downloading the FreeBSD 4.3 software from
your web site(it is taking about 20 hours even with a cable modem) and I
am quite concerned, after getting it downloaded on two points. First, I
am highly concerned about virus protection software. I looked at the
McAfee Virus Scan product earlier tonight and it listed at almost 4600
U.S. dollars. Needless to say, this is WAY BEYONG my resources. I am a
single user simply wanting to get to know FreeBSD and expand my
knowledge. I have tried Red Hat Linux and Solaris x86, but did not do
very well with them using my cable modem. Is there any virus protection
software offered by you that I could use and update at a more resonable
cost? If so, I would very much appreciate if you would pass information
on the product and how to obtain it. Second, I am concerned about the
compatability of FreeBSD with my Hardware setup. I do not know all of
the specifics of the items within my computer, especially for the
smaller items. The computer I am going to work with concerning FreeBSD
is a Compaq Presario 5002US. I have looked at your hardware lists, but
I don't see my specific model. Perhaps you may know something more
specific than I have been able to locate(I hope, hope :-) ). Any
assistance that can be provided in these endeavors will be welcomed.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
Tim S.
