Hello All I'm rebuilding a box for my Mom - she likes KDE and is up for a dual-boot on her PC. I'm considering both FreeBSD and Linux for her. If I go with Linux, I'll buy her a copy of Anyware Office as I use it every day and I think it will handle anything she can throw at it, including xls/doc/ppt files. I'd rather go FreeBSD/KDE/Anyware but I can't seem to get Anyware to work: [johnnyb@picard johnnyb]$ /usr/local/vistasource/applix /usr/local/vistasource/axdata/axmain: error in loading shared libraries: libgdk-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory /usr/local/vistasource/axdata/axmain: Connection timed out [johnnyb@picard johnnyb]$ I have the linux emulation installed, picard# pkg_info | grep -i linux linux-netscape-communicator-4.79 Linux Netscape Communicator suite linux_base-6.1 The base set of packages needed in Linux mode picard# and Mozilla runs like a charm. While I'm hacking this out, I'd like to know if anyone has any experience (good or bad) working with Anyware (not Applixware 4.4x, - I use that on AIX at work. Anyware == Applix 5.0 I think) and also what everybody (or anybody) thought of the StarOffice 6.0 beta under FreeBSD. OpenOffice for fbsd seems to be a work in progress? All the fbsd/applix references I see on the net are for applix-4.42 which is a good app, but not what I want. I'm going to try the SO6/OpenOffice ports as soon as I can, maybe tonight. Thanks, and sorry for the long post.
