    Greetings All,

    I am new to FreeBSD but have a lot of Linux experience so I think that
    the migration should not be too difficult.

    The reason that I am investigating FreeBSD is because I hear that it
    performs GREAT under heavy loads and many larger ISP are using it
    without fail. In my experience, Linux, although a great OS, seems to bog
    down under heavy loading. I could be wrong though and it could have just
    been to misconfiguration on my part.

    Well, I have a base installation of FreeBSD 4.11 which is needed for a
    particular project but now need to compile the kernel to support QUOTA's.

    My question is how do I install the sources over the web so that I can
    compile the kernel to support quotas?

    The FreeBSD docs tell a little, but mostly assume that you have the
    sources already on the system to compile which I do not have and need to
    download them.

    If some one could please give me a little guidance then I would greatly
    appreciate it.

    Thanks in advance,
    Lonnie
