Hi. Sorry about the HTML formatted email.
I'm extremely interested in installation of a FreeBSD build on a Dell Dimension
XPS P133s 133 MHz / 16 MB RAM, with a S3 Trio 64+ PCI (765) and D-Link DFE
530-TX PCI adapter. I've noted the HCL for version 5 (or maybe it was 6?) but I
figure I would do better to simply ask - what version do I need to run with my
current hardware, and what is the highest version I can run on the machine that
I plan to install on? Before you get too far on the reply, please also consider
that I primarily want to use the computer for a webserver (for my LAN) in
console mode (I doubt a GUI is a good idea considering the hardware I'm using.
Oh, and sorry if this is inapproprite, but I have no experience with UNIX and
really need to learn it. I figured FreeBSD was my best shot at it, based on
what I've seen. I've been looking at 2.2.8 and it seems to be a decent choice,
but I do consider that you probably know more about this than I do.
We've all been there.
Why don't you start with something like
