As for the other linux applications, (those which you did not list), assuming they require no special devices or distribution-specific stuff, they should run fine under FreeBSD. If you've got the source, then you can probably just re-compile them. Please note though, that the ports collection contains a LOT of stuff, and chances are what you're looking for already exists and is ready for you to install into a FreeBSD box. -- Nathan Vidican webmaster@wmptl.com Windsor Match Plate & Tool Ltd. http://www.wmptl.com/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
