It was Fri, 21 Dec 2001 00:43:26 +0000 when I read this: > Dear Sir, I am interested in using the freebsd os on my computer.

Installing FreeBSD is quite different from Windows and may not make sense to you at first and you may get too frustrated and give up. Knowing nothing my make think it's too complicated to use and install. My 4 year old can navigate and use app like xpaint and Opera but I had to install it and spent a good amount of time with her. I'm a programmer/sys admin as a profession and be using computer for almost 22 years, so you must be the judge of how much time you want to spending learning and how much 'pain' you can stand in your initial learning experiences.
