[-- Attachment #1 --] Hi, I'm considering moving from Windoze to *BSD, but as I'd be VERY new to it, not a programmer, and hate command-line stuff (yes, I'm an Offical Windows Drone and I appreciate GUI's as it makes things faster), I'm in dire need of some prelim info: First, what are the diffs between OpenBSD and FreeBSD? How does TrustedBSD fit in? Honestly, I seek the most secure OS available, period, end of story. Secondly and lastly, I'm curious as to what I should know/read/etc. before getting myself into more trouble than I can handle. After all, moving from Windoze is a BIG THING considering that I'm "pretty good" with Windows NT/2000/XP -- which is obviously harder to administrate than the Home User crap. Not to say I'm a SysAdmin or anything... although I'd love my knowledge level to be that of an expert! Thanks a lot for spoon-feeding and cheers! -Rob :) [-- Attachment #2 --] <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <META content="MSHTML 5.50.4616.200" name=GENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV> <DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi,</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm considering moving from Windoze to *BSD, but as I'd be VERY new to it, not a programmer, and hate command-line stuff (yes, I'm an Offical Windows Drone and I appreciate GUI's as it makes things faster), I'm in dire need of some prelim info:</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>First, what are the diffs between OpenBSD and FreeBSD?
