Your best bet is to go with a Linux Distro since their generall all free. Most newbies want to start on either Redhat, Mandrake or FreeBSD. I myself prefer FreeBSD, Slackware, Debian. I actually have a commercial copy of BSDi 3.5 and I tell you that you will have NO need for a commercial distribution. _________________________ Donate to UGN Security here.
