Davje,
I am one of the most junior members on this list, but I can tell you that your post in its current format is not likely to get much feedback. Here is what I think you questions mean and what I think the answers are:


Question: Is it available for my XP? (translated "Is it available for my Windows XP machine?)
Answer: In short, yes. Your Windows XP machine is an x86 PC. This list is for the PowerPC (i.e., Macintosh & similar) port of FreeBSD. Please see http://www.freebsd.org and look for x86-related information.


Question: What peripherals are supported?
Answer: Lots of them; checking http://www.freebsd.org/ports/index.html will give you an idea of the available applications for FreeBSD, which may in turn give you an idea of which peripherals are supported. It's really too broad of a question to address.


Queestion: How vulnerable to hackers is it?
Answer: Much, much less than your XP.

Question: Would it be suitable for a new organization?
Answer: It depends. If the new organization is composed of mostly Windows users, there would be a bit of a learning curve involved.


I am forwarding your question to the FreeBSD Questions list, which is a more appropriate location for this post.

Regards,
