You can find much more info at www.freebsd.org. Greg ============= About FreeBSD ============= What is FreeBSD? FreeBSD is an operating system based on 4.4 BSD Lite for Intel, AMD, Cyrix or NexGen "x86" based PC hardware. It works with a very wide variety of PC peripherals and configurations and can be used for everything from software development to providing professional internet services. This release of FreeBSD contains everything you need to run such a system, including full source code for everything. With the source distribution installed you can literally recompile the entire system from scratch with one command, making it ideal for students, researchers or folks who simply want to see how it all works. A large collection of ported 3rd party software (the "ports collection") is also provided to make it easier for you to obtain and install all your favorite traditional UNIX utilities for FreeBSD. Over 1300 ports, from editors to programming languages to graphical applications, make FreeBSD a powerful and comprehensive operating environment that extends far beyond that provided by many commercial versions of UNIX. If you are interested in more documentation on this system we recommended that you purchase the 4.4BSD Document Set from O'Reilly Associates and the USENIX Association, ISBN 1-56592-082-1. We have no connection with O'Reilly, we're just satisfied customers! To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
