May I ask you some questions? How would you compare FREEBSD to LInux? I have a Syquest parallel 270MB removable hard drive. Will that work with BSD? I have a SCSI HP T4000 Travan tape drive. Will that work? I have a SCSI Syquest 1.5Gig. removable hard drive on the same line. Will that work? I have an SCSI HP IIcx color scanner on the same line. Will that work? I'm pretty sure that a joystick would work. Please correct me if I am wrong. I have a Star NX2450 24pin Rainbow printer. Does FreeBSD support that? How about and Epson Stylus Color Bubble Jet printer? I understand that FreeBSD is great for networking, but I wonder if it would support the NIC card that I am using. The brand was listed, but not that model number. The card runs on the PCI bus.It was not listed in your writeup. I do know that it will support the one NE2000 16 bit card that I have. What I am concerned about it that I would be losing the capability of using most of my local resources, because BSD doesn't support it. I was also wondering about dual booting. Does FreeBSD support that, or must it solely be the only operating system on the hard drive? Does BSD boot up from the hard-drive, or is it from a floppy? Linux supports running Windows 3.x 16 bit software via a program designed for that purpose. Does FreeBSD have the same capability?
