Yes, I have a few K6's myself. > I am thinking of purchasing the Free BSD Power Pack for $99.95. Is > this a good deal? It looks pretty good to me. > Also they say there comming out with power pack 4.1 in august > 2000. Should I wait for that? Well, that's for you to decide, but I think there are quite a few improvements between 4.0 and 4.1. FreeBSD 4.1 is released in a few days, so if it's only another week or two until the 4.1 version of the power pack is out, I'd suggest you wait. Until then you can always download a minimal install from the Internet, if you have a reasonable connection. > Does it have GUI or would I be better off without the GUI? Yes, XFree86 is included, you just have to choose a window manager. :-) -- Ben Smithurst / ben@FreeBSD.org / PGP: 0x99392F7D FreeBSD Documentation Project / To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
