The TCP/IP implementation of 4.4BSD that is described in the books is a bit different from the current state of the source in FreeBSD. You will certainly find places where things are done a bit differently. What is marvellous though is that the full history of the FreeBSD source tree is readily available to you, only a few browser's clicks away. Point your browser at http://cvsweb.freebsd.org/ and you will be able to view both the original 4.4BSD source that FreeBSD is derived from and all the changes that have been done since. > If it is the same or fairly similar i would like you to recomend me > a stable version of freebsd(cdrom bootable). You should definitely try installing one of the FreeBSD -RELEASE versions. The latest release is now 4.7-RELEASE, and you can find about ways to obtain it easily at the www.FreeBSD.org site. Start either at the front page of the site, or at the list of FreeBSD mirrors: http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/mirrors.html Welcome to the FreeBSD side of the world :) -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] FreeBSD: The Power to Serve FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT #14: Mon Oct 21 06:51:14 EEST 2002 To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
