FreeBSD is ok...but you should looking into BSDI if you have the cash,
everything installed _sweetly_ execpt for my little ethernet problem..maybe
could someone post all the files you have to change to get it to talk properly??
i can get both machines to ping each other but when you do something else it
comes back with "permission denied" .. am i missing something....both are running
all the "net" daemons ... anyone know of a FAQ for TCP/IP networking?

Thanks..
