> I am seriously considering FreeBSD as an alternative to Windows 95. Good idea. > But can I run Windows and FreeBSD side-by-side? You can run both on the same computer (each with there own partition on the hard disk), but not at the same time. You will have to reboot to switch between them. > is FreeBSD a 100% UNIX compatible OS? As compatible as any other Unix style system, and far more then most. From my understanding it is 100% POSIX compatible, just not certified. Not that POSIX means much as NT also can claim this. :-( > Thanks! Your welcome! -- -Zenin (zenin@archive.rhps.org) From The Blue Camel we learn: BSD: A psychoactive drug, popular in the 80s, probably developed at UC Berkeley or thereabouts. Similar in many ways to the prescription-only medication called "System V", but infinitely more useful. (Or, at least, more fun.) The full chemical name is "Berkeley Standard Distribution".
