Sender: owner-freebsd-chat@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Anyone cares to share thoughts on the future of Applix on FreeBSD? I am waiting for a machine which am going to dedicate as my primary desktop running FreeBSD. I like what I read on the Applix site about functionality, however I am a little concerned after reading the description of Applix's rebirth as VistaSource. They talk about "Linux and Unix". They could have said "Unix like" operating systems or Unix derived systems..but instead they chose to have "Linux and Unix" Anyway, I just want any random thoughts of what people think is the future of Applix for FreeBSD before I fork the $99. Moreover, any rumors when version 5 will make it to FreeBSD? FreeBSDMall says september, but the first release was re-schedule numerous times. How come FreeBSD Inc, or now BSDI, have not talked to Metrolink and Applixare to have a FreeBSD Office distribution? francisco Moderator of the Corporate BSD list http://www.egroups.com/group/BSD_Corporate To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
