Is there a way to connect to a Microsoft VPN?

Hi, I'm going to try in to install FreeBSD 6.0-Beta3, and am curious how I should tweak the stable-supfile. Actually I did an install from CD, I usually immediately update from the net after a CD install, so I can get the latest stuff. When I installed 5.4 I made these changes to the stable

I installed the nvidia driver, and player enemy-territory - which was a lot of fun! Foobillard worked well, too. I started going through the ports installing a lot of games, but some of them required other files. For example, doomlegacy needed a WAD file - so I couldn't play it. Other ga

Installing 5.4 use to turn off my HP Pavillion, so I thought I would try 6.0 since I heard it was more laptop friendly. I have a 6.0-B1 CD that I am trying to install from. 6.0-B1 doesn't turn it off, but it does hang with a frozen ACII spinning character immediately after displaying: /boo

I have never been able to get through an install of either 5.4 or 6.0 on my HP Pavillion zv5445us laptop. Trying to install 5.4 would poweroff the latop, and 6.0 hangs during the install. I have not tried 4.10, and was hoping I wouldn't have to. I had tried earlier version of 5.x when they

I am in the process of making FreeBSD my primary desktop OS, which is not always easy since I have a limited amout of *nix experience. I chose FreeBSD after doing the Linux distro-dance, and eventually settled on FreeBSD because it seemed to be the best behaving OS. Based on word-of-mouth,

I think part of my solution is to encourage other newbies to track a release instead of stable. So we would follow "5_4" instead of "5", since "5" is on its way to become "5_5" - and might have some bugs with the features that are being added. I read about this here: http://www.freebsd.org
