There is no "cluster in the sky" however FreeBSD comes with add-on packages such as the Apache web server that can be installed to serve up web pages from your PC. All you need is to register a DNS entry or just plain give out your IP address to people. You'll want to talk to your ISP aobut getting a static IP address and possibly a dedicated line, that way your address doesn't change every time you connect to the internet. -- -Alfred Perlstein - [bright@wintelcom.net|alfred@freebsd.org] "I have the heart of a child; I keep it in a jar on my desk."
