If you install it you'd be able to boot FreeBSD off of the hard drive. It will give you the choice of booting FreeBSD or whatever else is on the drive. > Isn't FreeBSD, like Linux, a UNIX-like operating sys? There are others who can give you a better answer, but Linux is merely a Kernal that is Unix like. FreeBSD is an entire operating system that came from BSD , which for all intents and purposes is UNIX. It's a subtle distiction, but very important.
