I've enjoyed using linux since I started several months ago, and I've decided to try out BSD next© Unfortunatly, I know I'll have a few problems©

I'm keeping my other OS's ¥Win98, Win200, Slackware¤, with my partition table looking like this:

hda1: Win98/Win200
hda2: Slackware
hda3: Open ¥for FreeBSD¤
hda4: Swap file

Is there anyplace I can find information on making BSD and Linux and Windows to play nice together?

have you tried the freeBSD web site for info?
I have never tried free but I use OpenBSD and to install it to a free partition I used linux fdsk and found my partition info in relation to true sectors offset from the mbr and wrote that info on paper before I installed BSD.
