Yes. You will have to repartition your disk, though, to make room for the
new operating system. This usually means reinstalling your DOS partition.

One place to start is the FreeBSD web site. Take a look at

	http://www.ca.freebsd.org/handbook/

for an introduction to FreeBSD -- a UNIX variant derived from 4.4BSD.

While you can install FreeBSD via the Internet I would recommend that
you purchase the CD and install from that, unless you are very comfortable
configuring SLIP/PPP links and the associated routing table entries manually.
If the machine is (or can be) directly connected to the Internet (i.e.
you can stick it on an Internet-connected Ethernet) then installing over
the net is a breeze.
