If you:
Use FreeBSD to set up a hosting service,
charge your customers, and save your
profits....
OR:
Package your own "distribution" of
FreeBSD and provide technical support
for your money-paying clientele at $X.00
per call and save your profits ....
OR:
{insert $strategy here}
You might be able to afford that 64-bit
box a bit sooner. Good luck! :-D
More seriously, you might want to
read the FreeBSD handbook:
http://www.freebsd.org/handbook
--- it will tell you a lot about FreeBSD;
it includes the following statement:
"FreeBSD is a 4.4BSD-Lite based
operating system for the Intel
architecture (x86) and DEC Alpha
based systems. Ports to other
architectures are also underway."
My first FreeBSD machine was a
233MHz Pentium with an ancient
hard drive. You can learn a lot,
that is, "tons" from involvement
with this OS. Maybe you're up to
it? If so, welcome to FBSD-land!
