Therefore I need an Unix-like operating system and SW like WWW server, Gopher Server, E-mail server, FTP server , Domain Name Server, etc. You're in the right spot. FreeBSD can do all that.

The CD has a little install book, but most other docs are online, in the man pages and on http://www.freebsd.org. > > Are there printed books on BSD ?

This is not a good question for the FreeBSD support forum :-) They are completely different, one SysV based and the other BSD. Linux has more disorganized distributions, but more device support. FreeBSD has a tight, well-organized distribution with an excellent ports/packages program system. And the people are friendlier :) Doug White | Student, University of Oregon Internet: dwhite@gladstone.uoregon.edu | Major: Computer Science http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Eugene/Spfld BBS List Publisher
