[-- Attachment #1 --] I have heard many different suggestions on wich distribution to install. Some say X-User, because I can always add on later. Others say Everything, if I have the space (966mb in /usr). And others still say no to that, becuase of the amount of space that the source code takes up (I don't nessecarily wan't that). So I suppose what I am asking is, first of all, wich distribution would you recommend for a new FreeBSD user who wants to use the internet, Telnet Daemon, FTP Daemon, WWW Server, Programming, Text Editors, Games, X-Windows, and most of the other common things, but doesn't want the source code, and 966mb at my disposal? Sorry if this seems kind of lengthy, but I am pretty confused, please help me out.
