SCO is IMHO the only standard platform. Huh? Name some recent linux projects that have been successful? gimp? runs fine on freebsd. kde? runs fine as well. even linux binaries run. I do agree that FreeBSD needs to paint itself as a better linux than linux -- can't believe i just said that ;-)!! ... but i don't think your argument that linux software won't run under freebsd b/c they write it linux-specific is tenable. -- Steve Farrell To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
