Hi Deepak, I'm almost positively sure that you are looking at the wrong list. FreeBSD is a UNIX system (see the description at its homepage, at http://www.FreeBSD.org for example). While *some* of the software vendors you listed above (i.e. Adobe) make *some* versions of their software available for *some* UNIX systems, I don't think it is a very common or widespread practice for large, commercial software vendors to ship FreeBSD versions of their software. Having said that, FreeBSD can run and does support thousands of Free Software and Open Source Software packages. Perhaps you can tell us what you are trying to do, and we can find some FS/OSS program that can assist you? - Giorgos
