I think you may need to learn a little more about what your computer is made up of and their setting and how they are identified. I think you will also need to understand exactly what FreeBSD is before you even jump in the deep end. I am not saying don't I am just saying you will need alot of info to install and configure FreeBSD or any Unix/Linux OS to run better than Win 98. Pease spend time reading the www.frebsd.org website and learn about what you want to do.

I dont know anything about the what type the hard drive is and I really dont know much about how my O.S. works ( win,98) . What I do know is that I want a new one. I want to support the freebsd ! it sounds good to me and I like the concept I have heard about it . My q's (though probly answerd like 10x in your webpage ) is can I just download and install freebsd? ? will my screen look the same ? do I need a Owner's manuel ? I am not all that bright , but Im learning :) if you can recomed anything that can make this transition easy"r" please by all means tell me . otherwise I am going to hold my breath and dive in !
