A guide on how to configure NetBSD to act as a VPN server for PPTP Clients.

Many near-religious-level debates revolve around which GNU/Linux distribution is "best." However, we are blessed with two free platforms for desktop usage, the other being BSD.

I got FreeBSD fully installed on a 450MHz AMD K6-III+ system with 512MB of SDRAM and a 36GB 10Krpm SCSI hard disk in just under an hour.

Short guide on how to get started with NetBSD as a client in PPTP networks.

While the LinuxBIOS effort fully supports Linux, other modern operating systems, e.g. *BSD, and Windows 2000/XP, could not be directly supported because of their reliance on a few services provided by those legacy BIOSes.

First part in a series describing simple and easy ways to replace a Windows workstation with a Linux workstation, and stay productive in a corporate environment.

Printing under Linux has been advancing in the last year or two. I hadn\'t really been paying much attention to this because, to be honest, I am not a heavy-duty printing person.
