If FreeBSD is to benefit by this, we should try to be also directly supported rather than having to rely on our linux emulation. These apps are what Unix is lacking today and what may bring it to the desktop and more businesses. I really hope FreeBSD will be there in it's own right, and it is almost necessary to move out of the notion of "Great server, so-so workstation". So, I'm hoping that we either organize or indivualy email Corel noting the support we would have for their ports to BSD. Not sure if they would want a flood from the masses or a more organized petition, so I throw it to you. -- - All we hear is internet gaagaa, internet googoo, internet gaagaa To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
