Please don't use HTML-formatted text for your e-mails. It hurts some mail
programs!
I don't know anything about ICS, so will skip on that... Sorry.
I can't see that you should have any problems with your hardware. Give it a
go. There are plenty of folk here who will know more about it than I do,
and
who will be happy to help should have problems. I think a PIII will be a
very capable FreeBSD machine!
X Windows is a graphical environment for UNIX and UNIX-like systems. Check
for your video card on the hardware compatibility lists at www.xfree86.org
to
be sure that your video card can handle it. It is a very versatile system,
and can be configured almost infinitely...
Yes, SAMBA will work under FreeBSD. Your best bet would be to install it
from
the ports collection once your machine is up and running. You will then
be able to have Win9x clients connect to your server for file/print sharing.
Again, DSL is not something I know about, sorry.
And finally, yes, you can make copies of the software. The BSD license is
very liberal - the only thing you are NOT allowed to do, is obscure the
license itself with any redistributions you do.
Hope this helps you, slightly at least. Good luck, and have fun with your
new friends! :o)

Hallo!!
I want to buy the CD of FreeBSD (-> Walnut Creek CD-ROM (about 40$))
and I have some important questions:
I need a UNIX for the ICS and the Fixed disk release.
My question: Is FreeBSD able to do this?? And is it very difficult??
I have an Intel P3 600 with 128 MB RAM and an ISDN "Fritz!" - Card.
Do you think, that there will be any problems (for example with the
installation)???
I have read, that on the CD is also "X Window System (Xfree86 3.3.6). Can
you tell me, what it is??
For LINUX exists a program, which is called "Samba" that WINDOWS programs
also run with LINUX, does something like this
exists for FreeBSD, too?
I thought, that the server will have FreeBSD and the clients Windows 98,
will there be any problems???
And what is with this DSL??
Do you know, if I'm allowed to make copies of the Software?? Because I also
can download it on your website.
