I've just had to go to Linsux, uhm, Linux due to some compatibility issues. I've tried mandrake and redhat but it seems they are too unstable to use. I'm thinking of going back to freebsd but there are certain issues that concern me. 1) I need to do some serious software development with JBuilder. I've only seen JBuilder and Java for Linux. Is there a chance they'll run on FreeBSD? Do I have to use some sort of linux emulation? If yes, how fast and reliable is it? 2) How good is KDE 2 support in FreeBSD 2? 3) I am using a Dell Inspiron 7500 laptop. Is FreeBSD compatible with that? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, alex ------------------------------------------------------------ Get your FREE web-based e-mail and newsgroup access at: http://MailAndNews.com Create a new mailbox, or access your existing IMAP4 or POP3 mailbox from anywhere with just a web browser. ------------------------------------------------------------ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
