As others have observed, Linux and FreeBSD are two different operating systems.

Basically, you should have no difficulty installing both FreeBSD and Linux on the machine; that's what I've done. Older versions of X, including those delivered with some current Linux distributions, have difficulty recognizing the screen format, though they can be configured to handle it.

But, you should know that FreeBSD is not LINUX or related to LINUX. It is a UNIX type Operating System derived from the BSD family of UNIX. LINUX is an OS somewhat related to the SVR4 family of UNIX. FreeBSD is a superior Open Source, Freely available UNIX OS. It is especially suitable for network server work, but it works well in almost all situations needing a high quality UNIX environment. Give it a try. After some early work on learning the system, you will likely find it very rewarding and useful. jerry > > Can I install it? > > > It has following configuration > > 1) Inspiron E1505, Intel Core Duoprocessor T2300 (2MB/1.66GHz/667MHz) > 2) 15.4 Inch Wide-screen WXGA Display for Inspiron 6400/E150 > 3) 1GB, DDR2, 533MHz 2 Dimm for Inspiron 6400/E1505 > 4) Intel Integrated Graphics Media Accelerator 950 GM > 5) 80GB 5400RPM SATA Hard Drive for Inspiron 6400/E1505 > 6) Integrated 10/100 Network Cardand Modem, for Inspiron > 7) Intel PRO/Wireless 3945 802.11a/g Mini Card (54Mbps), for for Inspiron > 6400/E1505 > > 8) Dell Wireless 350 Bluetooth Module (2.0+EDR) for Inspiron 6400/E1505 > 9) 8X DVD+/-RW Drive for Inspiron 6400/E1505 > > 10) Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005, English without Media, > for Inspiron > > Thanks and Regards, > > Sadashiv > ___ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" > > ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
