Hello; I have had experience installing, configuring, and adding various server software packages to FreeBSD. But the last version I have experience with is 6.2. I still have various hardware configurations that are from that era. The current questions: How useful is the latest edition of Absolute FreeBSD? I see 3rd edition available, but on the authors web site, version 7.0 is mentioned, and I see that the current version is up to 10. I can look at hardware compatibility with respect to current version but in general, will hardware that vintage be compatible? Later, I can get newer components. Asus, Ecs, Gygabyte motherboards, AMD Athlon 64 (single core) processors I presume that most networking drivers wouldn't change to drastically, but I did have an issue with a new networking tech that wasn't yet supported out of the box by FreeBSD, at the time. Its been a while. I have a lot of rust to work through Thank you for time and attention. JK
