This is a cryptographically signed message in MIME format. --------------ms070609000209010701070407 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hello, I have a 17" Aluminum PowerBook G4 (1.67 GHz) that I am considering installing FreeBSD on. I would like to be able to use it as a desktop system for development work. Will this work? Is all the hardware (i.e. Graphics, WiFi, Audio, etc.) supported? If not, what pieces will I be without? Will I be able to get Java to compile? KDE? OpenOffice? etc. Any insights people have would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! -- Damien Tougas Web Programmer/Analyst Bates College 207-786-8329 --------------ms070609000209010701070407 Content-Type: application/x-pkcs7-signature; name="smime.p7s"
