I have no windows at home, and the exceptions to FreeBSD are my wife's laptop (runs Ubuntu) and all mobile devices of my family (all Ubuntu too). And, speaking as a software developer, things which can not be done with the tools provided by FreeBSD and its ports collection, perhaps are not worth to do. matthias -- Matthias Apitz | /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign: E-mail: guru@unixarea.de | \ / - No HTML/RTF in E-mail WWW: http://www.unixarea.de/ | X - No proprietary attachments phone: +49-176-38902045 | / \ - Respect for open standards | en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII_Ribbon_Campaign
