Hi everyone,

I'd like to learn some Unix stuff and am now considering Linux and
FreeBSD.  Someone told me that FreeBSD is more stable than Linux and the
availability of software is greater.  Is that true?  In addition, I have
a few questions before I can delve into the world of FreeBSD:

i.  Does FreeBSD support Matrox Millenium?  I've got an MGA with 4Mb
WRAM.
ii. Does FreeBSD support Cyrix P166+ (or even P200+)?  I'm planning to
upgrade my     machine from Intel P90 to Cyrix P166+.

Thank you very very much in advance.


Lawrence
