Hello all.
I hope this question does not sound so stupid. I have read archives
and do gogled searches but would like , if possible, to hear comments
based on experience.
I have a machine, pentium D 2.4mhz 2gb RAM, 160DD HD XP Pro. As I
mentuioned in other post I installed FreeBSD 7.3 under a virtual
machine using vmware. It works fine but seems it is too much for the
machine since when I am running it the machine is very slow. I have
that FB installation running without graphical interface since that's
why I need then.
Now I would like to have a graphical interface running to learn to use
eclipse and continue with my PHP/Mysql development learning. I know
that if I continue under VMware the windows machine will be even more
slow so I decided that I would have this machine running with a multi
boot schema and choose when to boot under FreeBSd, Windows and later
with Linux (looking for a job and in some companies asked me to have
the basics of any distribution). The most important is that I need to
be able to continue having that actual windows partition without
loosing anything or changing anything.
What do you think, based on experince, is the safest way to accomplish
this?
Since Windows isn't very cooperative with other operating systems, leave
it where it is, buy a second hard disk and install FreeBSD (and Linux)
on it. The FreeBSD bootmanager will be able to boot Windows but Windows
will not boot any FreeBSD or Linux.
Good Luck
Uli.
Thanks in advance
Jorge Biquez
