Pardon me if this post is inappropriate for here. I would just like to say a couple things about this OS. I come from many years of MS use. I had never used any flavor of UNIX or Linux or anything except OS/2. I bought the 3.3 release CD's from Walnut Creek. Install was actually quite easy, which is not what I had been led to believe. After about 3 weeks of learning, reading these news groups, and others, I have been able to successfully complete an FTP install of 4.0 release, download and compile IPFilter, setup a tight, working rule-set and implement ipnat. I have now set it up on our network. I am now doing with a "free" OS, what one would have had to spend large amounts of money to accomplish with MS. Cost is not the only issue, I am also amazed at the control one has over the OS. My only wish now is that I hadn't clouded my mind with so many years of BS, errrr MS..... I would just like to say Thank You to all the people who have put effort into FreeBSD. - -- Greg S.
