I have been a Linux user way back from the first time I was introduced to an alternate OS than windows. Even though I was aware of other Unices like FreeBSD and Solaris, I hadn’t come around to installing them on my machine. Some days back, things changed when I downloaded the latest FreeBSD version 6.2 from their official website. It consists of 2 ISO images .
I burned the images on to two CDs using K3B CD burning software and then started the installation.
FreeBSD comes with a text based installer which is quite intuitive. But a person installing a non-windows OS for the first time will initially find it a bit confusing.
I have followed the official handbook of Freebsd to install.
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install.html
Just follow it.
After that I have to configure various servers in the system.
I will write about installations of MySQL 5.1, Apache 2.2, PHP5, phpMyAdmin 2.10.0.2, WordPress 2.1.3 step by step.
Just stay here.
