FreeBSD does not run under Windows. It is a separate operating system.
Just as you can't run Windows 3.11 under Windows 95, you can't run
FreeBSD under Windows 95.

For information on FreeBSD you should see its Web site
<http://www.freebsd.org/>. You will notice a link to installation
instructions on the page.

Yes, you can download FreeBSD via FTP. When I first downloaded it, I was
using Windows 95 and did exactly what you'll need to do. You should go
to the Web site, follow the link to the installation instructions and
have a good read of them.

If you do download FreeBSD via FTP, you will find that the files are
compressed into .tar.gz files, which are as common on Unix as .zip files
are on Windows. Although they are compressed, you probably won't want to
download the whole operating system. Again, there is plenty of
information on the Web site which will help you out with this.

Tom
