Hi Carl, Yes, you can run FreeBSD alongside another OS. You will need some free space on the hard disk (or even better, get a new disk), and a set of CD's, boot floppies, and easy access to the FreeBSD handbook, at http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/index.html, which gives excellent details of preparing your system, and installing FreeBSD. You could also do a lot worse than getting hold of a copy of The Complete FreeBSD, by Greg Lehey (Walnut Creek, mail order from www.cdrom.com) I'm sure once you get FreeBSD up and running, you'll love it! Have fun!

My question is can I install freeBSD onto my current PC (running windows 98) and have it as a duel boot so that I can learn Unix at home, without needing to go into university? If so is it relatively easy? Your time and help is much appreciated. Carl Mooney (England).
