I am a bit disappointed with the perfomance of the SuSe linux, and am weary that the others may have the same problems. I am interested in an OS that will run a good office package(I have Staroffice), and a Netscape browser suite. My systme is a 166Mhz AMD-K6,48mb memory, S3 virge graphics card wit 4MB ram, soundblaster sound card, 2.1 gig windoze drive, 420mb utility draive and the 10.8mb drive I have linux on. What would be your recommendation for my setting this up with FreeBSD?. Do you see any problems with what I have as a system? ANy other things I may have skipped over that may cause a problem? Thank You Bill L I had SuSE 6.1 Linux dual w/ Windows NT on one of my boxes, YES, SuSE and= almost every linux distro is slow. Installing FBSD w/ your windows system will not be a problem, but you hav= e first to read about sharing another OS in the fag/handbook of FreeBSD.org= , myself: I believe that freebsd is much better than linux -performance and= ability- Cheers!
