Hi,
	My recent interest in the internet has grown in recent months. I 
have no real background in UNIX, except when I download my homepage info 
on the local server. I have purchased the FreeBSD from Walnut creek. In 
a month or so I am going to make an attempt at putting together a server 
using FreeBSD as the OS. I am thinking of a Cyrix 6-86/motherboard. I 
also think a Creative Labs soundcard, Seagate HD, and some floppie. I 
have very limited experience with this. I do have a great interest 
though. I have added ram and a second HD to my existing system (486 
DX2). I am running WIN95 with little trouble. It is a learning 
experience. When I get this up I would like to offer access to the net. 
I am curious if there are any usergroups doing this? Am I choosing 
equipt that is acceptable to run FreeBSD? Any advice would be 
appreciated. If you are too busy I understand that too.

	Thanks,

	  Jim
