Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello, I am considering using FreeBSD but I have some unanswered questions: * Is FreeBSD a good choice over Debian Linux for developing in assembly and C? * Does FreeBSD have any support from commercial companies such as Corel (ie. will I ever be using Corel WP8 on BSD?) * Will FreeBSD support my SupraExpress 288i PnP modem? * Should I spend the $70 for the FreeBSD and book to learn the O/S? What are the payoffs of using FreeBSD along with Win95? Thanks, Bart "The Good Guy" Trzynadlowski "Screwy ain't it?"
