Dear FreeBSD,
    I want to get freeBSD but only have a PC (for Windows9x etc.).  I =
went to the www.freebsdmall.com and saw a $40 FreeBSD 4.4 (Jewel Case), =
$50 FreeBSD Handbook (2nd Ed.), $70 The Complete FreeBSD, $100 BSD =
Powerpack 4.4, & $130 BSD Desktop Edition.
    I would like to try out FreeBSD by putting it on my computer (the =
one I'm building) at home.  I would like to know 1) which one is best =
for my to start out with, 2) is there a version that can run programs =
meant for DOS, 3) which set has the best Users Guide, 4) can I install =
it over DOS/Windows 9x, and 5) is there a FreeBSD chat group by any =
chance??
