FreeBSD _is_ a UN*X-like server which is actually more UN*X than the 'official' UN*Xes like Solaris. It is directly descended from BSD4.4, the last freely-distributed release. > 2. do you have to have your own isp addy? > You mean address? No, you can run FreeBSD standalone if you wish. It is complete and comes with many satisfactory accessories, all of which are also freely available. It _is_ recommended that you at least install a modem to dial in to an ISP so you can get more free stuff and updates, but many people work only off the FreeBSD CDROMS and are quite content. > Karen > -- oooOOO O O O o * * * * * * o ___ _________ _________ ________ _________ _________ ___==_ V_=_=_DW ===--- Don Wilde [don@PartsNow.com] [http://www.PartsNow.com ] /oo0000oo-oo--oo-ooo---ooo-ooo---ooo-ooo--ooo-ooo---ooo-ooo---ooo-oo--oo  To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
