Okay, I am going t o delurk for a few minutes and put in my little 
bit...

I did a clean -current boxen from scratch over the weekend and I have 
been able to get the following work, (some via ports others by packages)

• Netscape
• Mozilla
• OpenOffice
• XFree86
• many small things gaim, bash, pico, xemacs, vim, ghostview, acrobat, 
etc

However KDE compile install fails from ports, I tried an old packages 
version of it , get installed, when I go to run it, it tanks.  This 
could just be a local issue, and I have not had time to test it more...


Thats my story, and I don't always stick to it.
