I use win98se for now. I have for years (or a ver of Win). I want a change. Either Linux or FreeBSD. Is there a NAT program or daemon that will let me put the PCI card in the other small computer (I could build) & use that NAT to share the internet connection? Or does freeBSD have USB support for the NIC card? The nic card is a 3c19250. Does FreeBSD use the LINUX NATIVE partioning scheme of formating or is it a different & better one as well? Will I be able to transfer my DOS 32 files over to it? Lastly I have a pci Ultra DMA card that DOS recognizes that Linux wouldn't. So I wanted to set up my pc as a Server platform & have almost 50-57 gigs of stuff have open for storage, or access...but I couldn't because the spare hard drives aren't recognized. I have two floppies only one was found. I have 2 cdroms...only one was found...one of which is a burner.
