I am a newbie with any other operating systems other than Windows.  I am
tired of using windows.  I read an article in PC Magazine, the November
issue and saw that FreeBSD is an excellent choice.  My question is, what
is the difference between alpha and i386?  I read the documentations on
how to install it...great docs.  As of right now, I have download 4.4 iso
images (all 5 images) from the i386 folder on ftp2.  I hope that is
correct when factoring in the components of my computer.  
Could you please let me know if I am downloading the correct installation?
Do I need alpha or i386? My specs are listed below.


AMD 650, 751 Chipset mobo.
128 ECC Corsair mem
maxtor 20 GB.
modem = can you recommend one?  i don't have one yet.
ethernet card = smc1211 tx and smc 8432T
viper v770 AGP 2X/4X
SB Live Value
creative 52x ide
Aopen 20x10x40 CDRW, ide.
my OS's are 2000 Professional and XP Professional.

I could really use some help...please.

Thanks,

AJ Adams
