I got a new server for the student = campus and would like to install something ells than RH8 due that they = have privatised. But I do have my concerns. How would FreeBSD integrate = into a windows environment? Having a bunch of students logging into the = net work to access files on the server and running network applications, = databasing with MySQL, management of users and shared folders(per user), = is it easy and user friendly? Does it support DNS with Windows? Your answer might be the final convincing word, and something ells, = security is of utmost importance, the support on topics and = documentation is it complete similar to RH, I am new tot his business = and need backup material? Yours truly Chris
