I am looking for an OS for an embedded real-time application. The OS will most likely run on a pentium PC. Questions: 1) How does FreeBSD function in a "headless" state. That is, no display, mouse, or keyboard. 2) I saw information about installation of FreeBSD. What about upgrades?? It is desired that this can be done remotely over a network with no on-site support. 3) How about support of ATM NICs? I did not see mention of that in the release notes. 4) Information on debugging facilities/tools? I guess that covers my initial questions. Thanks in advance for the information.
