Re: How to get the software
hey Pal, check out the website they have the full list of mirrors for downloading FreeBSD. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/mirrors-ftp.html is the best place to start your search. You want to have in the back of your mind also that there are quite a few different branches of the software so let me answer your next question which would be " Which version do I want?" For most intents and purposes you will want FreeBSD4.8-Release. This is the newest release of the more stable 4.x branch. There is a 5.x branch but if you are new to FreeBSD and indeed new to *nix software and environments then 4.8 will bring you a much more stable and simplified experience. Having said all of that the choice is entirely up to you. Another recommendation is that you purchase a copy of the Handbook by Greg Lehey. It will come with a copy of the CD as well as a pretty comprehensive guide to getting yourself up and running with all the basics. Again the decision to purchase is up to you. here is a place to look for that http://www.bsdmall.com/freebsd1.html happy hacking LK - Original Message - From: "angger" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Sent: 2003年7月31日 18:58 Subject: How to get the software Hello Hi all of the freeBSD team, I'm from Indonesia, and I'm interest with the software, if it is a free software then where I can get it?? and download it, globaly I'm still learn the basic of the system, may I know the address to download FreeBSD software.

RE: How to get the software
Hi, Hi all of the freeBSD team, I'm from Indonesia, and I'm interest with the software, if it is a free software then where I can get it?? and download it, globaly I'm still learn the basic of the system, may I know the address to download FreeBSD software. Thank you As per anything new, take your time to read and understand first. Go to http://www.freebsd.org and take the links to the handbook. This will tell you everything you need to know about preparation and installing FreeBSD and where to download it. As per the other poster stick with the STABLE version if you are new to this. As someone who first installed FreeBSD only a couple of years ago and with no one around to help, I can assure you the handbook is well written and teaches you almost all you need to know... so take your time and use it. With the help of people on this list I'm yet to find a problem that wasn't solveable. Good luck, Phil. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
