I'm totally novice to these arguments; I'm using DOS and Windows from 6 years and now I'm looking to see if there's something better around. I've red your "Installing FreeBSD" on th URL http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/install.html and it's all clear but .... the first link "Obtaining FreeBSD" brings to FTP sites and another click to ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.ORG/pub/FreeBSD. Another click brings me to a page intitled "Current directory is /pub/FreeBSD" with a great amount of directories:for an ignorant like I'm, it's impossible to understand what I need to download to have a minimun installation which make me understand if this new OS can be for me or not. I hope that also a novice can have an help to sail in this mare magnum. I thank you in advance for your kind answer.
