Hi Jonathan !

I'll write Jordan Hubbard a Cc: of this thread, so he can decide,
whether it's worth for the FreeBSD project,

	- to stress test the Linux Emulator
	- to give you a machine for porting a nice X11 game to
	  FreeBSD
	- to tell you someone near you, who could give you a machine
	  or an external Harddisk with FreeBSD on it for porting
	  purposes ...

I personally would find it great, that grafic animated games are
not only offered for the Linux market ... Since many folks are
attracted by such things ... ;-)

Perhaps you can reply to this mail into the FreeBSD-hackers mailinglist
by giving the URL where the screen snapshots of the game reside, I have
forgotten the URL (@$&%!) and what the game is about.

Thanks

	Andreas ///
