Basic FreeBSD questions for beginner like me

1. What is FreeBSD?

Wikipedia has the answer

2. Is it good as server?

Don’t know , see yourself in netcraft

3. Which version is the best?

For old hardware, consider using 4.xxx, for modern hardware use 6.xxx

4. Is there any video for installing FreeBSD?, I wanna see general view on how to install FreeBSD

For quick overview I make video using vmware 6, installing FreeBSD 4, 5 and 6. I wanna upload it in youtube, due to maintain problem I upload it in metacafe. Here’s the link :

• Link to video FreeBSD 4.11 at metacafe, other link  video
• Link to video Freebsd 5.5 at metacafe, other link video
• Link to Video FreebSD 6.2 at metacafe, other link video
