I ppreciate that you all there are quite busy in view of hectic schedules.So i advise you take your own time in sending the responses and I shall be least bothered if there is any delay on your part. 1)If we install all the libraries for Linux should we be able to run all Linux applications 2)With Oracle announcing support for Linux how far is it going to be compatable in view of Query 1.If at all it going to be possible could you pls let me know if it should affect the performance of database on FreeBSD as compared to Oracle on native Linux. 3)Is there going to be increased cross platform support in FreeBSD in new release version 4)Netscape has announced release for 4.08 Navigator version,but on the download page for netscape for Unix flavours FreeBSD does not appear .Linux 1.2 and 2.1 seem to be closest match. Could You pls let me know if nay thing new is going to happen in this regard 5)Netscape 4.05 on FreeBSD is not as fancy as it is for Windows e.g checkboxex,fonts and even some the the other options.Do we need to load additional font and other libraries for it 6)Is there any tool like online defragmenter on Unix.I do not have any tape drive attached to my P.C to unload my file systems and restore them back.Will it be a good idea to dump filesystem on some other machine and restore it back via ftp in order to minimise defragmentation.How much degree of fragmentation is generally tolerable in file systems on FreeBSD any tips !!. This is prodding me for quite some time because of the fact that i see that netscape loading takes a appreciable amount of time now a days as compared to when i initially installed FreeBSD.There could be other reasons as well but i see that my /usr filesystem shows about 5% defragmentation.How else could i increase the performance of my system.Pls help me with tips or guide me to a suitable Web or Book resource for increasing performance. I am already running kernel built to my P.C specifications and requirements.
