I believe there is information on setting up xfree86, the X server that comes with freebsd.

Does anyone have >experience of setting up and using FREEBSD as a Mail Server, and WEB >Server. There are quite a few people around here who have experience with FreeBSD as a http and mail server. FreeBSD comes with sendmail installed by default, which will (with proper network connectivity) let you send and receive email. Install and configure Apache (or another http server) to allow it to be a web server. The easiest way to do this is by installing the package of Apache from ftp.freebsd.org . More information on Apache is available from http://www.apache.org/ > Any help would be appreciated. >-- >Andrew G Dickinson >Welwyn Systems Limited >andrew@adickins.demon.co.uk -- bryan k. ogawa <bkogawa@primenet.com> <bkogawa@netvoyage.net>
