I'd recommend using FreeBSD 2.2, which is the latest and greatest and will come out in the near future. 2.2-GAMMA SNAP is already out. Maybe you want to purchase CD-Rom && "The whole FreeBSD" book from Greg Lehey as a bundle ... As fas as I know this book covers many aspects of FreeBSD system administration and might be useful for you. see http://www.cdrom.com/ see http://www.freebsd.org/ Another good source is the FreeBSD Handbook, which is part of the Operating system. -- andreas@klemm.gtn.com /\/\___ Wiechers & Partner Datentechnik GmbH Andreas Klemm ___/\/\/ Support Unix -- andreas.klemm@wup.de pgp p-key http://www-swiss.ai.mit.edu/~bal/pks-toplev.html >>> powered by <<< ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/Printing/aps-491.tgz >>> FreeBSD <<<
