No - FreeBSD has its own ports/package system. See http://www.freebsd.org/ for more information. I greatly prefer it compared to RPMs. > Additionally, is KDE included in the upcoming distribution of FreeBSD > 3.0? We have KDE now and have for quite awhile. It's available as a package or a port. Again, see http://www.freebsd.org/ for more information. The specific information you're looking for is at : http://www.freebsd.org/ports/index.html Note there are 1700 or so total ports available. :-) Brett ****************************************************************** Brett Taylor brett@peloton.physics.montana.edu http://peloton.physics.montana.edu/brett/ "There is something uncanny in the noiseless rush of the cyclist, as he comes into view, passes by, and disappears." - Popular Science, 1891 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
