Well, my 'examples' are pine4-ssl which actually does not build SSL support (had to build manually). glib/gtk install glib_config and gtk_config with alternate names so anything not in ports can't find them, some libs go in /usr/lib and some go in /usr/X11R6/llib for no reason (glib again). > Netscape works fine as long as you have the compatibility libraries.

I've been running the BSDi Netscape and it crashes just as often as the Linux native Netscape crahes on Linux, so... > X isn't any slower on FreeBSD than on Linux (except for perhaps the 4.0.x > enhancements made with DRI). Step into my office and say that. Minimizing/unminimizing windows is a LOT slower. Granted, it's a lot of translucent aterms, but still. Sometimes you can SEE the damn thing draw the window and then print out every line in it. Plus when you hold down a key, it can't display the characters fast enough. This is X4.0.1 with an nvidia. I'm not complaining about the slow OpenGL, I don't care as much about that. Oh, xmms skips when compiling. > I am surprised that WindowMaker made its extensions "Linux" only. It's not WindowMaker, which works fine - it's some individual DockApps. The greatest disadvantage to FreeBSD I see is that there's no TCFBSD (; -Yaron -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: tclug-list-unsubscribe at mn-linux.org For additional commands, e-mail: tclug-list-help at mn-linux.org
