Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, First off, could you just tell me *exactly* what freebsd is? I am trying to decide wether to use NT or Unix as a Web/Mail server, so, is Freebsd the web server?, or just a platform? If so, does it support things like server side includes etc?? You may have noticed I have no idea what I am talking about, so, could you *please* tell me a place where I can d/l linux, I have been to loads of websites, put they *always* point me to complicated ftp sites, all I need is someone to tell me *exactly* what files I need to d/l, or even better, just one file which has all the other files compressed in it... Please help, Thanks, Jon Paxton http://www.ncuk.com/staff/jon
