|       As  a  side issue, and since   someone mentioned Photo$hop,  it's a
|       shame Adobe never  had a  port  of it on  other architectures  than
|       SunOS, Mac and Wincrawl.  
| 
|       Considering   the performance X  is  capable of  extracting of most
|       video  boards, a FreeBSD/Linux graphics  workstation would be quite
|       deadly  (especially when  you how lame  Win 95  is  when it's using
|       "virtual memory"  under Photoshop --  the same  platform under FBSD
|       should just bury Mac and Windows versions on I/O).  

You might want to take a look at "The Gimp" (they have a web page).  It is 
supposed to do stuff like PhotoShop and it is a work in progress.  They 
have a Linux binary that mostly works on FreeBSD 2.1 except for loading and
saving a file.  The two Berkeley students are planning to make a 
FreeBSD binary available.   The source is available so maybe someone can
compile it for FreeBSD (I don't have Motif for FreeBSD 2.1).
