Uh, you don't have to buy it: it's *free*...
> 1. Can I run my old ELF binaries (Linux) ?
Maybe. I use Linux WordPerfect, Netscape, and Wingz binaries all the
time. Alegro Common Lisp from Franz, on the other hand, doesn't seem
to want to work. YMMV.
> 2. What´s about a CD-Writer running under FreeBSD ?
CDRecord has been ported to FreeBSD-Current + CAM, and worked with my
CDR drive. YMMV.
> 3. Does FreeBSD support scanners ?
I ported SANE to FreeBSD-Current + CAM. It worked with my scanner.
Once again, YMMV.
