Quick answer: Sure. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/compatibility-processors.html Longer answer: FreeBSD has excellent documentation: http://www.freebsd.org/docs.html A good place to start is the Handbook: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ Please don't hesitate to read it as you attempt to install and configure FreeBSD and all of the wonderful additional software available in the ports system. After you've successfully completed the install, read it again -- and review :) There is much to learn, but the journey is well worth it. Plus, I believe you'll have a lot of FUN along the way... Also, you probably want to check out the freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list, it's a great place to get information and answers regarding "general" FreeBSD items and issues. Good Luck! -Brandon
