Hello, My name is Bryan and I am interested in using FreeBSD on my computer. Before I do so, I have a couple of questions I was wondering you could answer. 1) Is FreeBSD truly free, as in I don't have to pay for it and can download it at no charge or is FreeBSD just a name?
2) Is FreeBSD in any way affected by the SCO lawsuits against Linux distributors and commercial users, as I am aware that FreeBSD is based on Unix? I believe it is the fact that Linux may have Unix code, but I am not sure, as I have read many different opinions. 3) Is FreeBSD compatible with Linux software? I believe I read that somewhere. 4) Can FreeBSD run on a laptop that is hardware compatible, as I know some OS's cannot run on laptops but can on desktops? Thank you for your time.
