Hi,
This has nothing to do with FreeBSD. I have to buy 3-4 24/16
port ethernet switches for a school. Could you recommend a
brand/model? I don't know if such recommendations should be
done off list?

Now I have had satisfaction with Dlink and Compex, maybe not among the
cheapest, but still cheap. I have had some working for 6 or 7 years
Hello list,
I'd like to install FreeBSD on a number of machines, automatically and
unattended over Ethernet via PXE. I'm quite familiar with FAI, which does a
great job for Debian, and I'd like to know whether there is something similar
for FreeBSD too. So far I only found a guide for jumpstar

sshfs is a file system that lets you mount a remote ftp dir on a

using the mount command to mount the fs, it's mounted by running the
