(I CC´d this to chat, if someone replies please take it out of hackers) Hmm.. This was sort of discussed in the ports list long ago. The general principle that the majority (not exactly me, I, and myself) followed was that it was not a good idea to start bothering commercial software producers towards porting their stuff to FreeBSD, that we could survive better if Linux was supported, and as a result we would also win that market. In fact I emailed them thanking for the Linux port, and reported that it ran under FreeBSD. They were very appreciative of my message. Pedro. Ulf Zimmermann wrote: > > Ok.
