> I agree with that. I had problems with Flash on AMD64 so sometimes Am impressed - I didnt realise it was possible at all under amd64! I ended up using 'gnash' which doesnt really do the job to be honest, but it better than nothing. These days I find the best solution is keeping a copy of Windows inside VirtualBox for those moments when I need stuff that freeBSD can't do (primarily talking to HP iLo's these days, since I can't make Java work in Firefox) As a desktop to get work done I can't fault BSD - but would I use it at home for general browsing ? No, too many things don't work properly. OSX all the way there I'm afraid... -pete.
