Stick the disc in the drive, boot, and a menu appears from which you pick the functions and flavors you want. And when it finishes, you have a running system specialised to the role(s) you chose. Better than Microsoft, better than Linux. No fears, no tears. Load and go. _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
