http://www.freebsd.org/releases/latest/notes.html I'm curious..... Could I use FreeBSD as a replacement for DOS and run everything I now run that is either DOS based or Windows based? I'm currently using Windows for work groups 3.11 with many apps, sound card, scanner, tape drive, CD-RON drive, etc. Everything works FINE, but I would like to have the functionality of multitasking without the headaches of Win95. <:-) I have not upgraded and am not too wild about the idea of ever upgrading if I can find a viable alternative. I don't want to put myself in a closet either. MS has some nice apps in spite of its lousey operating system. What would be the benefit of using FreeBSD vs OS/2 for instance? Thanks for your time. Regards, --Steve
