so: what is the URL to download the 8.0-PRE freebsd....?
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/8.0/

wait, i thought the duo core is 64bits. still 32?
This:
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/amd64/ISO-IMAGES/8.0/
is indeed 64bit.
Yes! but i bought the *Intel* 2-duo-core or whatever; not the
AMD (aDvanced micro Devices) chip. Are these both bit by bit
== ?? i mean, exactly--software-wise, the same??
thanks.

ps i knew the amd was an intel clone on the 32-bit level; not
sure about the 64-bit chips... .
Intel licensed the AMD64 instruction set and they call it Intel 64 in their
chips.
Most free UNIX-like systems call the x86_64 releases AMD64 because thats
the correct name for the instruction set.
Well, I was just a bit behind the times; like four or five
years. But thanks to several wiki articles, that's resolved.
Nutshell is that I just finished burning the bootonly.iso.
Now, if the power holds and I get the 8.0-RC2 running on the
Dell, there's hope.
And for my next trick: I'm ordering a UPS. It is only for the
DNS server and firefall (pfSense). I'll either refurb the
current computer or buy a newer 32-bit for the firewall. I'd
like suggestions on which UPS to buy. Figuring the Dell Duo
and a standard Intel box, would 250w be a good enough SWAG?

Aloha Gary,
If that used computer place has UPS get a couple and get new batteries
for them if they are not refurbished.
I got 2 used free beacuse the batteries were dead and took out the small
batteries and installed the standard 100 amp hour batteries to back up 6
servers 2 years ago. I too was having up to 10 hour power outages.Now
the backup will go for at least 10 hours with no line power. We had a 6
hour outage last fall and the system kept right on working.
