It also depends a bit on what your goal is. I've got a couple of friends who run the StarOffice 6.0beta from Sun under the Linux emulator. That's great if what you want is a working office suite. What I want is a native binary, and no reason to have the Linux stuff on my FreeBSD box at all. Now that Mozilla builds a workable version from source, we're part of the way there. Mutt for dial-up email, Balsa for directly connected (both as IMAP clients so they see the same things). -crl -- Chad R.
