Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: AOL 3.0 for Windows 95 sub 104 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Dear FreeBSD (and co.), I've recently been considering changing over from Windows 95 to a UNIX based system, as it's gotten much acclaim. However, I know almost nothing about UNIX. I"m sure I could learn all the basic commands and whatnot, but I assume that the software I use now will not. If I can't use my Windows 95 programs with FreeBSD, what is the availability of UNIX versions of common software such as text editors, internet providers and games? If you could enlighten me on this, it would be greatly appreciated. thanks. _ J _ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
