In case this hasn't been answered before: the current version of
FreeBSD 2.1.5.  The most convenient place to get it is from Walnut
Creek CDROM (sales@cdrom.com).  The cheapest way to get it is by ftp
from FreeBSD.org (see http://www.FreeBSD.org for details).

SoftRAM 95 runs under Microsoft stuff (presumably Windows 95%), so it
won't hurt you anyway.  You'll need to create a separate partition for
FreeBSD and boot from that.

In fact, the same sort of applies to Stacker or DoubleSpace.  You can
leave it there in your Microsoft environment, you just can't access
the Microfsoft files if they're running under disk compression
schemes.
