I have had it running on my L*nux box since they released the beta version and have come to love it...I just bought a license for it. I've written multiple letters to them about making a FreeBSD port but have yet to receive a response. If you check their FAQ it says that they have no plans to port...if enough people say something, though, I bet they would. I guess I'll have to stick with VNC on my FreeBSD box...I'll just keep that old P120 under the desk for Winblows... --Ian ______________________________________________________________ Ian Clendaniel Conectiv Systems Architect Infrastructure Management Int:235-5577 Ext:451-5577 http://www.conectiv.com Pager/Cell:302-750-3574 mailto:clendaniel@conectiv.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
