:>Hi:
:>	I want to bring my Xenix system into the 90's, and bought
:>a copy of FreeBSD 2.05R2 from Walnut creek. Got it installed OK,
:>but now I'm stumped. BSD is sufficiently different from SYSVR3 
:>(Xenix) that I don't know how to proceed.
:>	I want to set up the BSD system to get mail from my ISP,
:>and to be able to telnet etc. out to the world. I presently use
:>uucp.
:>	Can anyone suggest any books or guides to help me setup
:>my system properly, enable decent security, etc.? Thanks for any
:>help.
