So, I decided to learn about UNIX enviroments 'cause my idea is to work with networks when I'll be graduated. At home I have a i486dx2 66Mhz that is running under DOS and WIN 3.1 (this pair is better than the WIN 95 'OS'), and of course FREE BSD. I started with FreeBSD on April (I'm a really NEWBIE), and now I'm learning new commands (all are new for me :-) ) and trying to have only UNIX-like OS at home. Today my PC is used for University and for experiments (hardware installation, different OS, games(OF COURSE!!!), etc.). But I'm working on LAN networks and I found it very stable and you can trust in it; the problem is that they need MS 'OS' to start working.
