My question is about the minimum or recomended requirements for this OS. I wish to install it in a Pentium 200 MMX, 96 MB RAM and 3.4 GB of hard disk. ¿What version could I install in that machine, and which may I install if I want to get a minimal speed? Thanks for your time.... FreeBSD 4.8 would be the version of choice for a new user. It will run fine on that system, provided you use a Lightweight Window Manager for X, rather than Gnome or KDE. Note that FreeBSD is not a GNU OS (In fact there is only one GNU OS, Debian Hurd. Linux, or GNU/Linux as the FSF Zealots like to call it, is not entirely GPL either.), It's a BSD, which happens to use some GPL software. The only piece of GLP software it depends on is gcc. Adam
