We have been running a DOS based system but are ready to join the real world. We have looked at BSDI commercial and it looks easy to setup. Does Free BSD offer the same programs? Is it difficult, or should I say very time consuming to configure Free BSD components? Whats your opinion? I'm looking at LINUX also. I'd appreciate your input. Forbes (Sysop@nwinfo.net)
