if you have a CD burner and i high bandwith, you can download the image for RedHat nad most other *NIX OS's.

I tried to install and run FreeBSD strictly from the command line... an hour later i installed red hat instead for my server. I prefer Red Hat. i may try slackware sometime soon.
I am using red hat for my main computer, i uninstalled the KDE 2.X that came with it and installed KDE 3.0 instead. I believe KDE to be better than gnome, but its really whatever you prefer.

and i suggest you ignore most of zombie's comments

Umm not really you linux whores. Here's the real deal:
Mandrake = Cute, lovable and mean when it's needed
RedHat = Runs any server you need almost perfectly
Slackware = Wannabe hackers' last option, upgrades like an @$$, supports almost nothing, made for diehards
Debian = The new Hacker's Linux
Open BSD = Real UNIX and unbreakable to boot
HP-UX = Good for everything that's not X86, mostly graphix

Mojo:
wtf are you talking about? THIS GUYS WANTS HELP ON BSD - HE DOESNT GIVE A SHITE ABOUT LINUX!!!! DUH!

I donn know shit about BSD - so i wont say anything about it - but you arseholes have to reply with 'Get Mandrake its dead brilliant' - IF you dont know shit about BSD why dont you let other peopel who do reply - YOU MORONS.

juris:
First of all, you must be sure you configured xfree86 during the installation. If not, then startx wont help.
To configure X you can type /stand/sysinstall at comaamnd prompt, that will give you the installatin menu where (i don't rememger undr what menu) you can reconfigure X matching your hardware.
There are also some progs to configure X directly, like xf86setup (or maybe XF86setup) don't remember exactly  :(
Anyway, if you type xf and then Ctrl+D you'll be given possible commands to complete (thats if you are using csh(C shell)).
whatis name_of_comaand will give you short description of what that prog does.

And look at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html

Good luck!

That's what i said. Except that i am one of the people that you are swearing at who doesn't know about BSD. I tried to help anyway, putting my 2 cents worth in, and mentioning that further info would probably be required since i only know about linux.
I tried to help anyway, which is more than i can say for you. I don't appreciate being sworn at when i am only trying to be civil and perhaps helpful. The programs this chap is having trouble with are the same programs that people use for the same job in linux, so it's not as if it's the OS from another planet or anything. Now do you have anything interesting to say? or are you just wasting space like zombie156158615686?
