Some doubts to start
Hello list, How you will realize I'm new in unix. I've been reading about freeBSD and I wish to know what is the meaning of: 1-Font Server. 2-NFS Server and NFS Server 3-Ports From freeBSD can I start a graphical environment like KDE and GNome. Which of them would be recommended?

Which of them would be recommended? Best regards A font server is what it sounds like. It is a daemon that runs in a centralized location where you can install fonts and serve them out to multiple networked clients. A NFS server is a file server similar to MS Windows file sharing. NFS is in common use on Unix. Ports are a collection of 3rd party packages that you can compile and install via pre-written scripts on BSD. Generally you download a ports tree which is a directory tree full of these scripts. You find the one you want to install, cd to it's directory and type something like make make install and it is downloaded compiled and installed in an automated fashion. There is more information on all of these things in the online FreeBSD handbook found here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html Enjoy! ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

In FreeBSD 5.4, Gnome contains more localization features than KDE, at least for my native language. For example in Gnome I can tell it to display menus etc in my language whereas in KDE I can't. -- Dmitry We live less by imagination than despite it - Rockwell Kent, N by E ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
