Hi: Consider me a newbie, a real, brand spanking new one. I want to set up an Internet server on Unix using Apache and MYSQL. I am looking at two OS's.... FreeBSD and Debian. I think FreeBSD is probably better for what I need, but Debian is easier to figure out how to get started... they have image files to make CD's from. And while your site has wonderful info about where to get CD's, and how to image the install floppies, I cannot find anywhere to find cd image files. Do these exist? If not, I assume I can just FTP all the files and burn that, making the two floppies needed for install. (Right?) Well, here is my other problem.... I go to the FTP site and there are hundreds of directories and thousands of files, I do not have a clue which I am supposed to get. Maybe I missed it, but I did not see either of these on the FreeBSD site. I apologize if I did miss it, please just point me in the right way. I did get into the Tutorials, too, but those seem to start AFTER you have the files locally you need. One final question, in your humble opinion... Debian or FreeBSD? What do you think? And WHY? Thank you! Dave Koch To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
