No offense, but *BSD != Linux, so the logic for asking that type of question here will most likely give you unfavorable responses. If you want simultaneous OSes, look into using an emulator like VMWare (usable on Linux, Windows), or VirtualPC (usable on Windows only), or try looking online for information about Wine if you want to run select Windows programs (requires a large degree of hacks to accomplish) on top of any POSIX enabled Unix operating system. -Garrett
