Also if you wish stable Flash, movies, all modern games then FreeBSD is not for you. But this does not mean that you can't exchange information with your friends who use MS Word for example. You, definitely, can read and even write documnets in MS Office formats, watch movies etc. You can create fun-styled text dcoments, use databses and spreadsheets. But this will take some initial timeline, and is not OutOfBox :-) -- Igor Roboul, Unix programmer @ Admiral Telecom ISP, St.Peterburg.
