It also has many database applications available for installation. FreeBSD is often used to run databases because it is very fast, arguably the fastest operating system freely available. Many large web sites and datacenters use FreeBSD as their operating system. If you want to run FreeBSD then I suggest you get another computer, it doesnt have to be an expensive one, a cheap second hand computer will do to start with, and then install FreeBSD on to it. All the installation instructions, and much more information can be found on the FreeBSD website, http://www.freebsd.org/ in particular go to the 'Documentation' and then read the 'Handbook' http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ It is very important that you read all this information first. After you have done this, if you have more questions then the best place to ask is on the freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list. This database list is really for questions about specific database applications. Kind Regards, Tim. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
