I have been using RedHat Linux 6.0, kernel 2.2.5-15 for the past six months. I am pretty satisfied but I am always looking for something better. I am looking for an operating system that I can use at home for a small network (3 PC's). The server would be connected to the internet by a cable modem and the clients would be running Win95. What I am looking for are as follows; a firewall, file and print services for the clients, internet access for all the clients from the single cable line, the possibility to start and maintain a web page with security. Why would FreeBSD be my best choice and also how easy is it to maintain? Are there any Net/Sys Admin books available to help me out? Can I use applications that are ported to Linux (Star Office, the GIMP, etc) on FreeBSD? _________________________________________________________ Get Visto!
