I think at some point (MFC) after 7.2-RELEASE 7.x began working well enough to use F10 as the base. At least, GoogleEarth, UT99, Skype, Adobe Reader 8 (nspluginwrapper and standalone) and Flash (nspluginwrapper) work for me. There are some missing system calls, but I am not sure what applications will have trouble (not work as opposed to make warnings) without them. Sean -- scf@FreeBSD.org
