Message-ID: <1994Apr24.025435.20808@freenet.victoria.bc.ca> Sender: news@freenet.victoria.bc.ca (News Manager) Reply-To: ug631@freenet.Victoria.BC.CA (Richard Morris) Organization: The Victoria Freenet Association (VIFA), Victoria, B.C., Canada Date: Sun, 24 Apr 1994 02:54:35 GMT Lines: 17 Hello, I came across the FreeBSD operating system just a few minutes ago and I was wondering if someone could tell me what it is exactly? I know it is a UNIX based OS but could someone give me a little bit more information? For example, is FreeBSD shareware/public domain/commercial/etc? Can you run the whole OS from a disk or does it need to be installed on the hard drive? What are it's minimum memory requirement? These are types of questions that I have. If you do respond, could you please respond via email as I do not visit this conference to often. Thank you in advance. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | RICHARD MORRIS | | | | FidoNet: 1:340/30 (Quantum Leap) | | Internet: ug631@freenet.victoria.bc.ca | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --
