Got a P3 sitting around... - Page 2

lethe, Kris, I have no coding skills, know anywhere I can get a little intro without buying BIG books which don't help squat?

And "poisoning" it with Windows would be an option if someone gave Windows to me, but I'll never pay for it...I bought it for games a year ago, and I thought it might serve its purpose here...

And where can I get FreeBSD?

freebsd.org might be a good place to start

Yeah, freebsd.org is good place to start

, though I do find the page a bit confusing... - If you choose to install FreeBSD, keep us updated.

Books are great to learn from, - if the book is good that is. I have found books from SAMS very interesting and easy to learn from. But I suppose it also depends on what you want to learn.

well, I don't want a 1700-page tutorial on how great it is, I want to learn codes and the logics of them.

There are only, the way I see it, two ways to learn new stuff; from other people or books (yourself). What suits you best, only you can know.

I dunno, I've heard that O'Reilly's books are pretty awesome. You might want to check one out. I think their site has some good online resources too.
