Freebsd,

I'm thinking about installing FreeBSD because I'm curious. I have heard that 
it is THE most stable OS out there (even beats Microsoft Windows). 

What I would like to know is if FreeBSD can run all the programs I already 
have on my pc that my Windows 98 OS runs. I.E., Sid Meier's Civil War, Corel 
Perfect Works, America Online, Juno, Windows Media Player, RealPlayer, the 
programs that run my scanner and printer, Star Trek Starfleet Command, etc.

Is it true that we can use your source code for FreeBSD to make our own 
personal OS from scratch, or modify FreeBSD to fit our needs?

Novice PC/techno lover.
