I have been looking for a powerful personal alternate OS instead of Windows 95. I have heard some good things about your OS and also Linux. (Those are what I have it narrowed down to.) I have heard though, that linux is easier for a Unix newbie, like me, so I was wondering if you think that a expierienced windows user could get along? I have purchased a Linux redhat system from Walnut creek and it would not install, that is why I started getting interested in FreeBSD. So I will either buy a different Linux or get FreeBSD. What can you tell me about it that would apply to personal use and not so much server use? I know that there are quite a few similarities between Linux and FreeBSD. So I would like some insight or opinion on the two in compare and contrast. -- ><((((º> ><((((º> J.O.R.D.A.N.
