>From my experience, installing most *nix's is pretty simple after you're used to one. The linux and FreeBSD hard drive and partition labeling schemes are quite a bit different however, and I would recommend reading this before getting started: http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/mini/Linux+FreeBSD-2.html This gives a little background on that topic. The other thing is that if you're used to Mandrake, FreeBSD isn't going to have some of the cool tools you've gotten used to, but you can pretty much find ports for most of the major software packages. KDE for example is still there and you could make it so that a workstation user would never know the difference. Well, that's my $.02 Good luck, Mike -- Michael & Tracy Holt Kirkland, WA [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.holt-tech.net [EMAIL PROTECTED] ===============================================================< Unix is all about taking big rocks and turning them into little rocks - Windows is all about taking sand... and dumping it in your gas tank...
