Recently I decided I'd like my other OS to be Unix-like...so I was going to get Linux, but then I came across FreeBSD while "surfing" the net and thought I would give it a go. The only problem I am faced with is that my 3 partitions are FAT32. Windows help tells me that no other operating systems are compatible with FAT32, but I thought I would ask anyway...is FreeBSD compatible with FAT32? I used Partition Magic to convert all of my partitions to FAT32, but I'm unsure whether I can revert any of them back...I'll probably have to take a look. Thanks, Luke.
