Of course, that's no guarantee that you won't run into other issues. In particular, I don't run X11 on *any* of my FreeBSD machines, so I don't know what the state of X11, KDE, or GNOME is on FreeBSD/PPC. Hopefully it will work fine for you, and it'll be worth all the initial trouble in setting it up! :-) -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu
