You can install it along with other systems in a single PC, but obviously you will not be able to use both at a time. As for what FreeBSD can be used for please read on. > Is it strictly for Internet transactions? I dunno. > Should I, in my ignorance, not mess with it? Ignorance is a good reason not to do things, unless you are willing to learn. To learn FreeBSD you just need a couple eyeballs and a brain behind them. I'd advise you to start reading through what you find in http://www.freebsd.org > Everthing I've read says FreeBSD is unbeatable for its > price/stability/ease of use.
