I installed the real audio/video servers on this machine about a year ago or thereabouts. Since then it's a Linux application. This is really bad for FreeBSD, are there software developers who are just thinking that they'll develop for Linux and then the FreeBSD emulation team will just ensure it that anything Linux runs fine. I'm not complaining about the quality of the Linux emulation here, just that if commercial developers are relying on the FreeBSD team to do a portion of their job that's really bad. If what you say is true, it shouldn't be too hard to get them to develop for FreeBSD once again. Steve Steve Roome - Vision Interactive Ltd.
