Your existing applications won't run at all. Depending on the tasks you do you may find other applications that perform the tasks better, and 99% of the appplications for FreeBSD are free, which is one of my personal favorite price points, but it would be better to assume that nothing you have now will work after you switch. (This isn't 100% true, of course, but you'll be much better going in with that expectation and then you can be pleasently surprised if you get anything to work.) It is very, very unlikley that you want to delete Windows when you install FreeBSD. You would almost certainly want to install them side by side (duel boot), unless you are willing to simply discard everything you've done before. And of course back everything up before you install, no matter what. | | Thank you for your answer | | ______________________________________________________________________ | Find, Connect, Date! http://personals.yahoo.ca | | To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org | with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message -- Brian T.
