The FreeBSD apps work just fine.. the app that I've been using the most is Visual Slick Edit for Linux.. That program is also haveing difficulty writing to my $HOME dir as well... Is it possilbe that it's picking up some FreeBSD libraries instead of the linux libs, and that could be the problem? -----Original Message----- From: Pedro F.

It is not normal, on my box linux netscape and BSD netscape (apparently) run at the same speed.. Perhaps you need more memory? You have to send much more information (at least the FreeBSD version, the application(s) that are slow, and some info of the box you are using), otherwise no one will know what to say.. Pedro.
