If this is not true, you can enable the FreeBSD support for Linux. And play it this way.

But if you card works is still up for debate. GSadUY> 4) Is it more secure then winblowz ME ? 1) Bugs can be and exist in all software. This is also the case for FreeBSD. 2) FreeBSD has a memory manegment system. ME proberly doen'st just like 95/98. (NT+ does also have a sucha system) GSadUY> 5) will there be anything out from u ppl that will let me run as many programs as winblowz? I don't follow. There is a large port system with free software availble.

GSadUY> v1rus84@icqmail.com FreeBSD share the HD with windows and gives you a option to choice which to start. You have to seporate the disk in two partition. I use FBSD as a server (No desktop software). Well not now my server is partly dead. :-( I use windows (NT/2000 else where) You realy wanna have a look at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html (How to get the best results for you quistions) -- Best regards, Alex To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
