Re: i want to switch from windows to freebsd, please help me.
I second on 4.8-stable. Been playing for FreeBSD for about a month now, but before I had a lot of hassles with 5, 5.1. I got the experience I expected using 4.8. I'd recommed FreeBSD 4.8 to you, since 5.1 has still some issues.

i want to switch from windows to freebsd, please help me.
i have used nothing but window OS's in my 16 year lifespan and am tired of it. right now i have a old sony vaio pcv-90 with win95 and a computer i built (1.8ghz P4 with windows xp pro soon to be dual booted with linux suse 8.1 pro) and wanted to find a version of unix i could try. i bought suse but am having alot of trouble installing it and have not been able to run it. one of my friends has freebsd 4.4 and says that he likes it more than anything else out there so he has gotten me interested in it now. What do you version do you recomend for me to get since i am a major noob and do you recomend any reading materials? I've been to http://store.yahoo.com/bsdmall/ and looked around, do you recomend them any? Any help will be very appreciated. Thank You - Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo!

First of all, you need to wrap your emails to 72-80 character rows so people can read them. Second of all, I've found the best place to learn about FreeBSD is on this mailing list, and on the FreeNode IRC channels dedicated to FreeBSD (#freebsd, #freebsd-gnome, #kde-freebsd, #freebsdhelp). For searchable archives, try http://www.freebsdsearch.com, http://www.freebsdforums.com/forums, and of course the FreeBSD handbook on http://freebsd.org The handbook and FAQ is really the place to start. If you don't know what part of the handbook to look, just ask here or on IRC and some kind soul will help you out. FreeBSD really is the best OS in the world, and also the best community. You will love it. -- Adam [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi, What do you version do you recomend for me to get since i am a major noob and do you recomend any reading materials? I'd recommed FreeBSD 4.8 to you, since 5.1 has still some issues. Here is how to get FreeBSD: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/mirrors.html Generally, FreeBSD's documentation is really outstanding, here are some links: http://www.freebsd.org/projects/newbies.html http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/index.html http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html HTH, Simon signature.asc Description: Digital signature

If you are looking for a easy way to install it, it installs easily over the net. You can also downlaod the ISO needed to install it. I would suggest checking out http://www.freebsd.org/projects/newbies.html and http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html . Those should provide a good place to begin. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
