Yes it runs on FreeBSD. You seem to be confused. KDE is not Linux specific, nor is probably 99% of the other stuff you're running on Linux. The only stuff the binary compatibility layer (note I didn't say emulation, because it's not emulation) is used for is things that are shipped in a Linux binary for only. Like Word Perfect. Or Star Office. Or Acrobat Reader. The rest you can compile from source, or even better, use the ports collection. - jim -- - jim mock - O|S|D|N - open source development network - - http://www.freebsdzine.org/ - jim@freebsdzine.org - jim@FreeBSD.org - To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
