I think that is a question you will have to answer for yourself. > Please provide any suggestions as well. FreeBSD, like win98, is an operating system. If you want to run FreeBSD it will be instead of win98. You can't run them both at the same time. However, you can have both installed on your hard drive and when you start your machine, you can choose which one you would like to boot. Try it out and see. That is my suggestion. You may then find yourself being drawn in until you no longer choose to boot windows except on rare occasions 8). -- Best Regards, Joseph You will do foolish things, but do them with enthusiasm.
