Hello there, 

 

I was wanted to register to your community site, and was not able to, due to
the image verification icon not appearing on my web browser (IE 7) 

 

Since my computer duel boots, I was able to check both my vista and xp
browsers and was still not able to log in to your site. 

 

I will now check at work to ensure this isn't one of my systems and will get
back to you. 

 

Thank you. 

 

Kevin. 

 

P.S. I was hoping to ask the question that if FreeBSD is for me.   (I
realize that you might not answer this question, and that is fine. No hurt
in asking, right?) 

 

I have tried other Linux distros like SME, ClackConnect, etc.  (Realizing
that FreeBSD is not a Linux distro) 

 

Here is my hardware

Sun Microsystems Motherboard with a Xeon processor at 2.4 

512 Ram

1 Matrox hard drive 80 gig

1 WD hard drive 80 gig

1 Matrox hard drive 120 gig

Onboard Gig LAN card

3Com LAN card

 

Here is idea system 

 

 ISP --->Server (FreeBDS) ----> DD-WRT Wireless Router/Switch-----> LAN 

(had a huge problem trying to get my DD-WRT to work as a Switch rather than
a Router) 

 

Here is what I current have setup

 

ISP----> DD-WRT Wireless Router (With NAT) ------>  LAN with Server
(ClackConnect under DMZ)

 

Is what I like to do. 

Run the Server similar to a company setup.   

.         Email, Share Drives, Proxy server, Print Server, Firewall, NAT,
etc

.         Raid 1 - Simple Mirror the two 80, with the 120 as a Spare for
extra file sharing etc. 

.         Webserver - PHP (Even thou I have really no idea how it works
etc), Forums, etc

.         Ventrilo and TeamSpeak support

.         External USB Backup

.         Remote Desktop access (VPN possible), but I am able to access my
computer through DD-WRT

And I think that's it.   

Realizing that I don't expect any of the Distro to do this for me, but if
the How Tos are clean and for anyone with little or no experience in Linux
(I have some experience with Dos, ah the good old days) than I am more than
willing to do it myself. (I find most of the How Tos very focused on
experience Linux users) I am just trying to ensure that I have a secure
webserver.
