No you won't lose your present configuration. No do not install FreeBSD and then reload everything. Yes there is a way to use your existing graphics applications. In a nustshell, you will leave all of your w95 stuff on the first half of your drive and install FreeBSD on the second half of your drive. Your w95 system will be unaffected by FreeBSD and FreeBSD will be unaffected by w95. There is a large portion of FreeBSD users doing exactly this. I am one of them. Of course, this assumes that you do the install correctly and carefully.
