I am a complete newbie when it comes to FreeBSD and I am interested in
running it getting so I can't afford Windows pgms). I looked on the
FreeBSD web site but I cannot find any info on if I can run it.
(Windows requires the drivers (Highpoint 374) for the ide drives) Also
if I will be able to use my HP DVD-R/W drive. (I just want to be able to
use it as a CD-RW).
Help!

Thanks
Doug
