The indys have been excellent, but to replace them with new O2 machines will cost us too much. We are looking at intel machines running freeBSD. The are there others out there that are using freeBSD for this purpose? I guess the question is what do people use as heavy duty development environments for FreeBSD. Can they compare to commercial tools. SGI has a great varsity pack deal that gives us high level commercial C++/C,fortran,cosmo(java) and ada development packages. Is FreeBSD limited to gcc and other GNU tools?(we have found them very buggy) Brian -- Brian O'Connor, Unix Systems Consultant La Trobe University,Bendigo,Australia; b.oconnor@latrobe.edu.au http://ironbark.bendigo.latrobe.edu.au/~boc/resume.html To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
