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
