FreeBSD LiveCD

Been way too long since I worked with any BSD! Downloaded LiveBSD-5_3-KDE-3_3-BETA1.iso from www.livebsd.com. Wanted to try it out without having to install on a h/d. Went fine up until I wanted to get out on the Internet. I kept on trying echo "nameserver xx.xxx.x.xxx" but didn't remember to end it with >> /etc/resolv.conf. Works a lot better when you do! Anyway, I highly recommend the distro for those who want to play around with FreeBSD & learn some about it and don't want to do a h/d install. Also tried out Dragonfly's latest livecd, Damned Small Linux, and Slax. All of them were fun and worked great.
