(908) 828-8988 Lines: 11 Message-ID: <alegre.807056451@mars.superlink.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: mars.superlink.net X-Newsreader: NN version 6.5.0 (NOV) I'm a happy Linux user right now. However I have curiosity about how FreeBSD compares to Linux. What I would like is an advice on how to install FreeBSD in an existing Linux ext2 partition without having to repartition my HD. I would like to use LILO to choose at boot time between Linux and FreeBSD. I want the coexistence to be completely painless. I do NOT have any MS product installed in my machine now. Just Linux. Is that possible or is FreeBSD designed to coexist only with MSDOS? Cheers, Fernando.
