Text Editors: Yes LOTS! There are religious wars over them too. :) Two good ones are vim (http://www.vim.org) and emacs. GUI/IDEs: Yes Two good ones Anjuta (http://anjuta.sourceforge.net) or KDevelop (http://www.kdevelop.org) Compiler: Yes, not just C and C++ gcc (http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/gcc.html) > will it work on on a BrillianX motherboard? Not sure on this one. If it's a normal PC motherboard with standard chipsets (via, intel), I don't see why not. > what kind of modem will i need. WinModems might be supported, but hardware modems (usually external ones) are guaranteed to work. A good place to start is the freebsd handbook, when you are learning freebsd: http://www.freebsd.org/handbook (also available in /usr/share/doc after installation) And I found Dru Lavigne's tutorials most helpful. http://www.onlamp.com/pub/ct/15 -- "Optimized, readable, on time; Pick any two."=20 FreeBSD 5.1-CURRENT i386=20 10:29PM up 3 days, 15:10, 1 user, load averages: 0.38, 0.33, 0.26 --=-r5pSYGIKnOnFZX9Go5lR Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQA/fty3DAqnLW/+/X8RArofAJ9i6sFXow25DP+03/EExZKqrJyZogCg56kY 5xNH5Gr7fMtUiYD9WYHdXhw= =8x1J -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-r5pSYGIKnOnFZX9Go5lR--
