Many Apple programs and drivers wouldn't work then, but should in March when it is officially released. I would really like to know if you are happy with it and which lists you find that have information on ported open source applications, etc. Thanks and GOOD LUCK! ed -- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
