I've tried to compile OO on a couple of FreeBSD boxes. It actually came to a successful conclusion on one, but crapped itself after I used it a few times. I really disliked being redirected to Sun's website to click through their Java license agreements, too. I finally solved the problem by installing Fedora Core 2 on an old laptop that I use as a "desktop" Windoze replacement - OO was part of the standard setup, and it works quite well so far. Jay
