      I am interested in loading UNIX onto my computer but I know almost
nothing about operating systems.  I am currently running Windows98.  If I
download FreeBSD/UNIX, will I overwrite and destroy my existing operating
system?

Microsoft 98 operating system and UNIX.  If you hit f1, Windows loads, if you
hit f2, UNIX loads.  Will I end up with something like that.
