> Will freebds work with Internet Exploryer ?
^^^^^^^
It's FreeBSD (Berkley System Development, I believe). I haven't seen an
Explorer port for it, but you can use Netscape.
> Will freebds enhance the proformance of Windows 3.1 (486 pc )
Not exactly. It will enhance the performance of your PC as OPPOSED to
the same pc running any DOS or Windows OS. FreeBSD is an operating
system. It doesn't run at the same time as DOS or Windows, but instead
of them (though it can co-exist on the same PC).
> What benefits would I experience using freebds ?
You get true multitasking, built-in TCP/IP (internet protocol) support,
and far better system resource handling among oodles of other neat
stuff. The downside? It's a bit more difficult to learn. However, with
some patience, the right literature (The Complete FreeBSD by Greg
Lehey), the right support (this group) you'll do just great.
Good luck,
Roman
