Don't know about some of the items, but... -Flash support with Mozilla products is being done through Mozilla's ActionScript Engine: <http://www.adobe.com/aboutadobe/pressroom/pressreleases/200611/110706Mozilla.html>. So, I expect the latest version of Adobe's Flash Player to be supported on all Unix platforms to some extent in the future. Sound support will be interesting though. -Isn't Xen handled by the Xen project and not FreeBSD? Seems like your comment (was related) but off-topic. -Garrett
