Hi guys - I'm running msdos 6.22 and windows NT 4.0 on my pc at home. occasionally I login to my freebsd server and instead of using telnet I'd like to be able to use Xwindows that comes on the walnut creek freebsd 2.2.2 cdrom. My question is - is it possible to install freebsd on my home pc without screwing up my life? I just am nervous that trying to install FreeBSD on a partition will screw up my NT settings or who knows what. When it comes to having faith that NT will work without tripping over any changes I make, HAH! I've have absolutely gotten sick to death of having to completely reinstall and reconfigure windows (any version - as they are all quirky) over and over everytime it burps. One of these days I'd like to get rid of all Microsoft Products on my PC's - but many programs I have to work with for my job only work under MS windows. I'm currently running DOS6.22 and Windows NT 4.0 and all files are FAT. I've got a Cyrix 686-166+ on a Tyan motherboard with 32 meg edo memory. A 2.5 gig quantum bigfoot hard drive with an ATI 3D RAGE II video card. By the way I'm basically a newbie to FreeBSD - BUT I LOVE IT! I wish you guys would go commercial and blow bill gates and NT right out of the water. If I had to choose between giving FreeBSD or MS $700+ for server software I'd rather give it to you guys any day of the year.
