First off, your best bet for this sort of question is questions@freebsd.org. There are all sorts of people there who will be happy to help you. We here on -doc actually discuss writing documentation. But, you couldn't know that right off. Yes, you can read your files with FreeBSD. There's a discussion of this, as well as other migration concerns, in the introductory section of the FreeBSD FAQ. You can get there from the main FreeBSD web page, http://www.freebsd.org. Good luck, and welcome. ==ml On Fri, Jan 25, 2002 at 02:28:59PM -0000, windiz wrote: > Hi, > I run windows 98 with office 2000 and am totally fed up with MS.
