I think that FreeBSD is the ultimate desktop OS. I have been using FreeBSD as my home and work desktops for 3 years, plus I use FreeBSD at work for various network tasks. My real question is however, "What does it take to get application software vendors to start writing 'native' FreeBSD apps?". I just tried the Scriptics TCL/TK plugin for Netscape and I haven't got it working yet. Then I found out that I need to run the linux emulation to get the plugin to run and that sort of bothers me. I just installed linux on a laptop and to tell you the truth, I am NOT impressed with linux. Other than the fact that there is a lot of application support for linux there seems to be little else worthy of note about linux. I did not write to run linux into the ground, instead I wanted to find out what I can do to prompt the apps vendors to write native FreeBSD apps.
