There is also Linux, both Linux and BSD flavors are based on Unix.  Linux and BSD do have difference, though.  Whichever, one of the best ways to get started is to look around the local library for books on beginner's Linux and/or Unix --Unix, because BSD is more strict to Unix.\n\nNow, as far as the actual OS... for Linux my two choice for ease of installation, compatibility, and usability are Fedora and Ubuntu.  For BSD, the best experience I've had was with OpenBSD, which does need a bit more fiddling with than Fedora or Ubuntu, and there's FreeBSD, like you've said you're interested in, but I didn't have a good experience installing that.  OpenBSD is an extremely secure system --more so than the two Linux versions I've mentioned, so maybe you'd rather take the extra trouble... and maybe not.  I didn't have the patience and finally decided I'd go with Ubuntu.  FreeBSD is less secure than OpenBSD and needs a bit of fiddling with as well, but like I said, I didn't have a good experience with it.  Too much fiddling --more than I needed to do with OpenBSD.\n\nhttp://www.redhat.com/fedora/\nhttp://www.ubuntu.com/ <--there are also two other versions listed there you might want to look into\nhttp://www.openbsd.org/\nhttp://www.freebsd.org/\n\nJust download the ISOs, burn them as ISOs to CD, and they should boot up for you.  Installation is normally pretty automated, but OpenBSD is a little more cumbersome, so be careful and make sure you've an installation manual handy.  Having another computer available to online with while you're installing onto another computer is a good convenience.  I haven't experienced Fedora, but Ubuntu automatically installs a desktop environment for you, so it might be the easiest for you to learn from.

I use nfs on a  FreeBSD 6.0-STABLE and I am really satisfied.\nAs for the automate reconnection you can set up the auto mount daemon amd configuration.\n"man 8 amd" and "man 5 amd.conf" are your friends :-)\nI strongly suggest that you read the complete chapter dedicated to NFS on FreebSD at :\nhttp://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-nfs.html\n\nenjoy.

http://www.phpbb.com/downloads.php\n\nOr\n\nIf you don't have a domain name and are hosted by a site, or if you don't want much of a hassle with programs, you can setup one for free at either forumer.com, freeforums.com, or cjb.net (recommend forumer.com) and they'll host it under their servers.

you will have to get yourself a copy of windows, or if you want something free download a small iso version of linux like DSL, burn it onto a cd and run that... nothing else u can do.

Almost everything about Linux is free, so you're in luck.\n\nThere are quite a few free tutorials and books available online about linux. It helps if you know what version you're using... Here are some suggestions though:\n\nBooks\nhttp://lab.lpicn.org/pub/books/\nhttp://www.gutenberg.org/etext/6527\nhttp://www.gutenberg.org/etext/6527\nAlso your public library likely has some\n\nTutorials\nhttp://www.linux.org/lessons/beginner/index.html\nhttp://howtos.linux.com/howtos/HOWTO-INDEX/os.shtml#OSGS\nhttp://www.reallylinux.com/

Try Linux From Scratch (www.linuxfromscratch.org)..\n\nIt give you a brief tutorial about how to assembly some packages and modify them to make your own GNU/Linux OS..\n\nYou just have to know a little about Linux fundamental such as using Vi, sheel script, etc..

Check out http://www.r-project.org.  \n\nFree.  Installation gets more user-friendly if you read the FAQ first.  Downloadable.  The website lists some good books.

The best starting places I know are search engines.  You'll need to download the Microsoft DDK (driver development kit).  I beleive that it is still a free download.  And a lot of good starting information is included also.  Good luck.

Two options I suggest.\nEase of install and setup use SME server from Contribs.org. It's 'free' and comes preconfigured as a mail server, samba server and domain server. It has an easy to use web based administration menu and has everything installed.\n\nFor beginners, another easy to learn way to get linux working quickly and properly is with Debian.  The network install has a very simple menu system that lets you easily set up what you need with minimal configuration. Plus the net install download is only 140Mb.
