Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello! I purchased FreeBSD because my ISP runs it on my dedicated servers. So i thought why not use it at home on my LAN for testing and stuff. I invested the 40 bucks and ordered FreeBSD 3.0. But now after 8 hours of work and installation I'm kinda fed up with it. Nothing works. Apache doesn't work, Xwindows doesn't work (although I updated it to support all my hardware) and the whole directories and everything look different from my webserver. And I also want to complain about all the hardware and installation routines. They suck. I guess you have to be an expert already only to get FreeBSD installed and working. I recommend you take a look at Turbolinux. They know how to make the installation easy and understandable for non linux/unix experts. So I will delete FreeBSD and install Turbolinux again if I can't find help with these problems anywhere. I should have given the 40 bucks to a bum this would have been a better investment.
