I'm a fairly experienced Dos & Windows user with enough knowledge of Unix to perform basic file management and use networking utilities. Ive read the docs online. How hard is it to install FreeBsd on a system that also runs Win95 (I need it for my GUI loving parents) *really*? Also, how similar and how different is it from commercial BSDI UNIX? And will it peform quickly (meaning no delays for text printing on screen) on a P133 166Mb ram. I have had no troubles with Win95's or Dos's speed. These may seem like simple questions, but I want to know before I take the plunge. Thanks, Colin Morrison smpc@aloha.net http://www.aloha.net/~smpc
