    Server software...
 For setting up a simple home server - very limited audience - weather
 station, webcam, PDP11 port(s) attached to [Big_Bad_World] via cable
 modem (someday DSL if they ever buld it out to the Sticks where I
 live)
 What version of Free BSD would Y'all recommend?  I found 5.1 on sale
 at Compusa - but it was a closeout and none were left ($49.95) 
That's easy.  Get the newest version from:
http://www.freebsd.org
...which appears to be version 5.1.  You can either download an ISO from
their website, or buy a copy from one of their venders listed under the
"Getting FreeBSD" link.
