Although it was a very good course that had loads of good info, there were still some gaps. How many bit is the OS? Windows 98 for example is 32bit. Also what are the system requirements? I am fairly new to computers. I have only been tinkering with them for a few years, and I have only began to study them in earnest for about a year and a half. I can't wait to get into this deeper. I have not decided what I want to specialize in, but programming and software development are looking really good. I have an old 386 laptop that was given to me. Could it do anything with Free B? Does UNIX interact with hardware the same way DOS/Windows does? Thank you Barry A.
