I want to migrate from DOS/Windows to Unix, and knowledgable
people have recommended FreeBSD. Two questions:
1) Can I choose to boot up to either FBSD or DOS/Windows on the
same hard drive (as with OS/2)?
2) If no to the above, can I run my Windows apps under FBSD
until I've made the full transition (I'm not prepared to jump
cold turkey yet as I'm teaching myself Unix).
Is there a particular FAQ that answers newbie questions like
these? (The one's I've seen didn't.)
Thanks Much In Advance,
Jason
