Currently, I am a win95 user. I am also a student. I am thinking of
installing FreeBSD onto my computer. I have a few questions:

Will it interfere with win95?
How does it deal with existing msdos/win95 partitions?
Can I uninstall it?
Is a book on unix worth buying?
Is there any way this can mess up my computer?
What about linux?

Any help would be much appreciated. :)

Sorry for the inconvenience, but it is necessary to combat spammers.
