...as a dual-boot with W7, but discovered that, like Linux (or at least Ubuntu) 11 doesn't support MBR. So no dual-boot with older Windows. I reinstalled 10.3 instead. Will 10.4 still support MBR? What will happen to those who can't easily afford to buy a special disc for XP or 7 or some other MBR-based o/s? Then, going to install the Nvidia driver, I discovered that even the 10.3 port would install what looks like most of Linux Centos too, though the driver doesn't require it. And so two more steps have been taken along the road to FreeBSD becoming, in all but name, just another flavor of Linux. That sucks like a Vax.
