Re: [SL] Best Linux OS for SL?

[ATM L. <atm...@km...>]

Ok...  Well, I am game for Free-BSD, and have played with it a bit..., If I
have the power, any reason I should still not go with the GUI?  (Will be run
on a HP Xeon 2Ghz with 512M, not sure what drive/drives I will put in yet...

Also, here for the BSD
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/6.2/

Then this to install SL
To install the port: cd /usr/ports/finance/sql-ledger/ && make install clean
To add the package: pkg_add -r sql-ledger

(Do I have to add the package???  First?/After?/Never?)

When its done will I be good to PDF invoices?  Or am I back to trying to get
everything working again?

Thanks for the Ideas, I will be going FreeBSD unless it gets too cranky,
then I will give up and go CentOS...
	
I guess the bigest Question would be ... Could/Should/I leave the GUI etc??/
If I did, can you think of any other 'Kewl' uses for it?
