I'm running FreeBSD on K6, K6-2, and Athlon machines, so yes, AMD chips are fine. :-) I also run the x86 version of Solaris 8 on an Athlon. Although I prefer FreeBSD a thousand times more than Slowaris, if that's what you are studying you might want to at least dual boot between FreeBSD and Solaris. david fletcher wrote: > > dear sirs, > > i just started training to be an oracle dba and am studying sun solaris unix. > > my computer has an amd new atholon thunderbird 850 MHz processor with 128 MEGS of RAM, a 40 gig high speed hard drive and floppy and cd rom drives. > > will free bsd run on my system? > > sun solaris unix requires intel so i'm not sure.
