Dear all, My name is Leonid Rozenblat. I live in Israel and I'm a professional software developer. I would like to purchase and use a FreeBSD Unix on my home PC. My interests will include learning FreeBSD Unix sources, writing a device drivers and other OS development related activity. I'm really a novice to this type of Unix. So, please, guide me with the following: 1. Which FreeBSD Unix release suits for my machine (if any) (Compaq 5050 Presario) ? 2. Do you have books (CDs) explaining in detail FreeBSD Unix internals, device drivers development ? I also need a book (CD) about system installation, administration and usage. I want to be capable of writing my own device drivers and kernel extensions if possible. 3. May you recommend some books (CDs) about the PC hardware design ? This is in order to understand FreeBSD Unix Pentium related source code. 4. Where I may purchase the correspondent CDs, including FreeBSD Unix sources and documentation ? Is the www.cheapbytes.com is the proper place (they offer some reduced prices) ? 5. Should I purchase Linux or FreeBSD Unix for OS learning and driver development purposes ? Please, advice me. I guess, FreeBSD code is more structured and self-explanatory than the Linux one. Am I right ? Thank you in advance. I wish to pay my deep respect and gratitude to all the FreeBSD Development Community members for this exciting product - FreeBSD Unix. Thank you very much !
