If you can run Netscape effectively - even the stripped-down Navigator version - you can run either one effectively. No, that's not right - even if you *can't* run NN effectively, you can run either one effectively, as they don't require an X environment to run in, and your X environment is liable to take more resources than emacs. I'd say that you can probably run it on anything you can install FreeBSD on, if you run it outside of X. <mike P.S. to jcm - apologies for the empty letter. -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
