There are remote desktop and vnc utils to get to a windows box for using windowscentric apps, they work great and are hassle free. I'll bet in a year's time, that windows box doesn't even get turned on anymore. FreeBSD is a pleasure to use, and the learning curve is not THAT great, especially with this mailing list, and if you're motivated. Do yourself a favor. Good luck, Bob > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org > [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org] On Behalf Of > Augusto Montenegro > Sent: Thursday, November 17, 2005 2:54 PM > To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org > Subject: Windows Compatibility? > > I am looking into changing my Windows Operating system > toFreeBSD or Linux. > Most of my programs run in Windows.
