I want to find out if the following will work with FreeBSD?

I currently have a Digital Starion 932 120mhz Pentium with 16 meg,
a Gold Star 540(?) and a Toshiba 4x CD-Rom.  Also a Cardinal 28.8 External
Fax/Voice modem.

I will upgrade this to a cyrix 133mhz chip and 40 keg.

Please let me know also what would be the difference between this and Linux.

At the tender age of 53 I am having to learn unix, FreeBSD and Linux were
recommended for me to use at home for learning and also just a very O/S.I
have a copy on a CD-ROM that says Free BSD 1.1 Release is this still any good?

Thanks for your assistance, and patience for answering proably some dumb
questions but I have a slow learning curve.
