MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-15 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello, I just stumbled accross 1und1.de (one of the biggest German hosting companies) who now offer 50€/month dedicated Server including the hardware and 50GB of traffic. Now I'd be perfectly happy to get a bunch of those if it weren't for the OS on them: SuSE Linux 7.2. Now Linux on itself is bad enough (been there, done that, didn't want to wait to get the Tshirt) but SuSE is one of the worse distributions out there. So now I'm wondering whether it would be possible to simply install FreeBSD from a running Linux box (maybe just dd a working image over the Linux HD?) cause it obviously isn't possible to even access the console of the machine save use custom CDRoms with it...
