Cool, I've been in grad school too, and I really wanted to use FreeBSD
in my office but for some strange reason FreeBSD broke the network
several times. I thought it was a configuration problem but when I set
up an Alpha box I was able to bring the network down again (Tru64
reported excessive network activity) and this time they fixed the
problem well.

Anyway, one of the things that is really important is getting good
quality fonts, that's the reason I ported type1inst and several ps
type1 fonts. I bought a pretty good and cheap CD with lot's of
postscript fonts.

Hmm...I just checked the FreeBSD Mall and I don't find Applixware as a
standalone product anymore ... the BSD Desktop Edition looks like a
good buy though.

     Pedro.
