I particularly enjoyed the article, "Installing FreeBSD on a Windows 95 machine". The "blow-by-blow" account helped me picture an installation in a way that the instructions have not. I am a really new "newbie" (learning unix in order to do this thing). I have decided that the Windows+FreeBSD on one disc, with partitions and all, adds a layer of complexity and worry that I don't need, so I've decided to install FreeBSD on a separate 486 (they're cheap enough these days). Hope to do it between terms here at FSU in May. Meanwhile, I'm working my way through the FreeBSD Manual. Thanks for FreeBSD Diary. I want to explore it more when I have the time. And thanks to all of you old hands for taking the time to fill us in.
