FreeBSD 4.6 freezing at "probing hardware"

A few things to try: 1. Disable any/all things that you dont/wont need in the BIOS, like USB, printer port (for now), sound (for now), any overclocking, fail-safe optimal boot. 2. Check out the FreeBSD hardware compatibility list for your hardware specific support here. 3. Check out this...

uninstalling XFree86 in FBSD

I'll give it a shot! :) I believe that you will need to remove XFree86 and all the dependent ports/packages. Do a pkg_info to get a list of all packages and delete all the X dependent ones first using pkg_delete <name>. You may also be able to do a "make deinstall" for all the x specific...

Linux Vs. Freebsd -- ease of use?

FreeBSD 4.5 works with XFree86 4.2. If you are a Unix newbie, you should prolly try Linux distros as others have suggested. However, you should be fine with FreeBSD if you are intent on learning Unix. In all honesty, use whatever distro you feel comfortable with, Linux or BSD. If you have a...

Questions regarding MS Exchange

I am assuming you setup Exchange 2000, what OS ? Again, I am assuming it is a MS server OS. Check these links http://www.sbslinks.com, http://www.sbs2000.info. They are for Small Business Server 2000, but I think they will work for Exchange configuration on a non-SBS server machine as well.

What OS should I run on this older system??

If you have an older licensed Windows OS, I would say Win XP home, Amazon has an upgrade for like $60. I think W2K, or Win XP should work.

Best OS for an all-purpose server? W2K Adv Svr or W2K Pro?

I would say any *nix flavor. If you are new to Unix try a Linux distro otherwise FreeBSD. I would also pick an OS with a smaller footprint, especially since most of them will support ftp. If you decide on windows go with Apache and be careful with anonymous ftp, or at least monitor the traffic...

what makes linux not unix?

Technically Linux is a kernel, every distro makes it a full blown operating system. Some folks argue that it is all Unix, some people call it Unix-like (i.e. it emulates Unix). *BSD followers say *BSD implementations are closer to Unix (since *BSD inherited from AT&T Unix dynasty).

which OS supports dual processors?

To the best of my knowledge, only certain BSD operating systems support SMP (dual processing). I found out that OpenBSD, for example, does not support dual processors while FreeBSD works fine. I believe that NetBSD also supports 2 cpus.

Apache on FreeBSD

Windows 2000 may be the best since it is more mature and relatively stable. I am not sure if it is the best, since Windows 95/98 may be better suited for people who run games or applications that do not run happily on Windows 2000/XP. I think XP may also be good, I have not used it, I generally...
