Your site says it can be downloaded, but from what i've seen, you # don't give a link to where this is. ISO images can be downloaded from here: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/ # Also, is FreeBSD compatible with Linux software or Mac OS X software? FreeBSD can run most Linux application via the Linux compatibility layer, just make sure that you install the Linux-base package and enable the Linux option on the Startup (???) section of /stand/sysinstall :: Configure Although Mac OS X is based on FreeBSD 3.2, native Mac OS X applications cannot run on FreeBSD/i386 since there is a hardware platform difference and the Carbon/Aqua/etc. APIs that Apple uses that are not available on any other platform other than Mac OS X. Only Darwin is available in an (possibly) open-source license. -- Linh Pham [lplist@closedsrc.org] // 404b - Brain not found To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
