well i've got an old server from work IBM x225 zeon raid5

Was thinking about having a play with freebsd have used linux for many years but never done anything but seems to be gaining popularity. My TV even runs it :eek:

Any do's or dont's on a fresh install? was just going to download the DVD install and go from there.

Not sure what i'll use it for yet... DHCP,DNS samba apache

TIA

yer i've looked at that seem more like a ubuntu than debian if that makes sense so going with just plain freebsd.

thanks though, could possibly run it on my desktop (shame it's KDE)

well i prefer Linux cause I know it, but there are jobs where it asks for freebsd experience. So ill give it a go and see how I get on.

Dial up those were the days, downloading linux distros on dial up
