There seems to be a FreeBSD flash plugin, my BSD flavor of Mozilla works fine with Flash and Java. (Though thanks to Sun not yet approving the shipping of Java binaries installation is a multi-part affair.) BTW, you can always use Linux-Mozilla or Linux-Netscape4 to use Linux plugins such as Linux realplayer. They work fine under BSD, there's no real performance hit for the emulation. I don't know about the cross-over plugin though, that could be tricky since it's a windows emulator, though since I haven't bought it I don't miss it. :-) > Personally I'm considering switching to Gentoo because of this. Your choice. Gentoo may have a form of ports implemented in python, but that's about where the BSDishness ends.
