I know its a basic P-II, 450 mhz system . 128 mgs ram , and A number nine revalution 4 agp graphix card. 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 !
