It is possible to make my own shell with freeBSD?... i am using P3 733/133Mhz FSB, 160mb ram and 6gig hard disk. My internet connection is behind a router.

Yes, it is possible...Learn about linux/freeBSD little and then you'll see that is quite simple...The best thing is, that you add user for yourself and run processes on it...But remember...If you wanna have ssh open to public you'll need to open port on router..

Hello,
Well, first you need to download freebsd off of freeBSD's ftp server and install it. if you own your server then you can create shell accounts but you'll still need IPs with reverse dns delegation to make decent bouncers so the best thing is to colocate your hardware at a datacenter...

I presently run a BSD server on my Cable connection --- though the box only gets 1 IP --- But it helps you to learn more about BSD

Just remember if you only have 1 IP dont go crazy with your connections or you could attract a gline or kline from your favorite network.
