   I have a nonstandard pc (read: homebrew :>) and I'm looking for info on

   My Q is this: will BSD run on this beast? is there a DOS emu and a 
   Windoze emu for BSD that will run on this?  I want my wife to be able to 
   run "Windoze" from her terminal...  Am I going off the deep end?
   Please email me.

The easiest way to see if it's compatible is to download the boot

WINE, the window emulator is still alpha test.
