Matthew: All of the above. Gnome and KDE for the desktop, WordPerfect/Abiword/StarOffice/OpenOffice for your productivity apps, Evolution or other for email/pim, LICQ for ICQ and there are apps for AIM, MP# players/converters galore, Galeon/Mozilla/Netscape/Opera for your browsing pleasure.. All of these and more available in ports. And I might say most of it came from the Linux World... --karl To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
