Question: Complete web site is only around 100 MB. I can back it up easily. Should I completely replace the current OS and reformat for FreeBSD during installation? |

Benefits would be that there would not be a need for additional partitioning and if everything works out there would not be any waste. Problem would be if things go wrong and I would need to reinstall windows. That would mean reformating and reinstalling windows once and then upgrade it to the latest version and install all serving software which would be time consuming. |

As I am starting at the deep end, I was thinking about getting rid of windows completely. Any suggestions, comments? One other possibility would be to purchase a new HD plus the cables etc and install the FreeBSD on that one but I was reading about some problems of FreeBSD with primary HD (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-steps.html). |
