I have been using FreeBSD Unix for a couple of years now and have found it to be a very stable and complete Unix environment. I have recently reinstalled FreeBSD 2.1.6 on my PC at home and have configured my system to function as a complete Unix, X-window networked machine. I have been able to setup my FreeBSD system to recognize my laser printer. I can run my complete OpenLook Window Manager environment. I have connected up to my ISP with PPP very easily and can run Netscape and Mosaic much more efficiently than under DOS/WFW 3.11. I have also been able to setup PPP connectivity to my employer and run my complete Openwindows environment under FreeBSD Unix. This is the environment of choice for me when I need access to the Internet or dial-in capability to work. I happily await the next version of FreeBSD.
