[-- Attachment #1 --] Hey guys, Anyways, I was wondering about FreeBSD's Linux emulation capabilities. I used to use FreeBSD until I found out that new releases of various applications (ie Netscape, Snes9x) favoured Linux and Windows over all the other OS's, and plus the fact that I couldn't get Netscape working on FreeBSD rel4.1.1. I went to Linux Slackware and was sadly dissapointed because of it's "incompleteness" compared to FreeBSD. Now I'm wondering, can I run Linux applications on FreeBSD such as X applications? I guess I'd like to get the latest version of Netscape running on FreeBSD, as well as a Linux version of Snes9x (if possible) Thanks guys Mike [-- Attachment #2 --] <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <META content="MSHTML 5.50.4207.2601" name=GENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hey guys,</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Anyways, I was wondering about FreeBSD's Linux emulation capabilities.
