I just saw FreeBSD at ftp.cdrom.com and I caught my eye. I've got
Slackware Linux installed on my home system, but I haven't had much of
an opportunity to try it out. I'd like to find out more about FreeBSD
and see about getting it running on my system.

Where do I start downloading? What files do I need for a complete
install, etc. Would it just be easier to get a CD copy from somewhere,
and if so, where do I go?

Any help is greatly appreciated!
