E.g. Macromedia Flash or AIFF. When I click the 'Get Plugin' button I'm directed to the netscape plugin page and I'm told that unfortunately there cannot be a suitable plugin found for my type of OS. :-( For one, is there a way to masqerade as being another OS (like Linux) - I know, FreeBSDers don't like that from their nonconformistic attitude anyway :-) but just a 'small lie' out of necessity. OTOH, if anyone has a compiled list of the most common plugins that work under FreeBSD please could you post them here. -- Chris Christoph P. U.
