My Questions about FreeBSD

The answer is yes.  It is called 'dual booting' (even if you have three
or four different OSes).   A couple of things just to be clear:  The
term that BSD UNIX uses is "slice".   (Then within each slice there can
be up to 8 UNIX partitions a-h although 4 partitions have designated or 
traditional uses that should be maintained - a is used for root on the 
boot slice, b is used for swap on any/all slices, c refers to the whole 
unpartitioned slice, d is something special that doesn't seem to get used
and I don't remember what it was on our old SUNs, et al)  Microsoft uses 
the word partition to mean the same thing as the BSD UNIX 'slice'.   

The slice[MS partition] is on the disk, not the processor (which is what I
think you meant to say above).

Look in the FreeBSD Handbook which you can read online, download or
buy for informatino on dual booting FreeBSD with other OSes.

Someone else will be able to say more about GUI-s in FreeBSD better
that I can.
