I want to run Linix or FreeBSD on a networked PC, but am unsure of
which of the following configurations limits me in my work.

	Linux off disk.	(RedHat)
	FreeBSD off disk.
	FreeBSD booting off network over ethernet.

  I will need access to the ISA and PCI bus for hardware development,
and possibly will need to write device drivers or daemons.

Also, how is security affected... network vs disk boot.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers, IAN
