Actually, Flash9 on FreeBSD 7.x is working pretty good now with Linux emulation. In fact, the sound syncs up better on my default PC-BSD alpha box than on my mac! I'm watching entire episodes of Fringe on Hulu.com with no problems. Get it up to a million dollars and we'll just pay Adobe for the port ;-) I think the point for sites like this is having somewhere more formal to track projects, sponsors, and developers as it relates to monetary bounties. -matt
