Hi, I few months ago I wrote three articles introducing the FreeBSD operating system for the Spanish magazine _Mundo Linux_. The magazine also included the FreeBSD 5.3R for i386 CD (both 1 & 2). It was the very first time a GNU/Linux magazine in Spain published anything about *BSD, but they were really nice and appreciative. =20 A couple of weeks ago, I posted these three articles on the world wide web, as PDF files. On the Spanish BSD mailing lists I've heard of people who started using FreeBSD because of these articles. Now that FreeBSD 6.0 is forthcoming, I hope they will continue being helpful and useful for the Spanish-speaking people interested on FreeBSD. =20 =20 The first one is an introduction to BSD. It tells us its origins, explains some of its basic characteristics and suggests some reasons why GNU/Linux users could be interested on trying FreeBSD. =20 FreeBSD, a well kept secret http://cronopios.net/Textos/freebsd_un_secreto_bien_guardado.pdf =20 =20 The second one discusses the FreeBSD installation and basic configuration, explaining what slices and partitions are, launching X and the desktop environment, Spanish localization, etc. =20 FreeBSD: installation and getting started http://cronopios.net/Textos/freebsd_instalacion_y_primeros_pasos.pdf =20 =20 The third article carefully explains installing and upgrading applications (using both ports and packages), the various FreeBSD branches (-CURRENT, -STABLE, -RELEASE) and upgrading the system itself. =20 FreeBSD, installing and upgrading programs http://cronopios.net/Textos/freebsd_instalacion_y_actualizacion_de_progra= mas.pdf =20 =20 Best regards, Quique =20 =20 --=20 The problem with quick and dirty... is that dirty remains long after quick has been forgotten. - Steve McConnell, /Software Project Survival Guide/.
