Absolutely, assuming you have sufficient space to create a new partition. > Is the command language similiar to Basic? UNIX. The command language is similar to UNIX. :) The shell commands are pretty unique, there are some faint throwbacks to DOS but that's it. If you're not familiar with shell syntax then I suggest either purchasing a book or looking at http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/newuser/ for a introduction. > By the way how do you guys make any money? For all intents and purposes, FreeBSD is a non-profit venture. Walnut Creek CDROM sells CDs of the distribution, and money from that funds development and network connectivity.
