But they don't have any Windows emulation of any sort. There is an Citrix server available to read the HR memos with. But Citrix ICA Launch is available for FreeBSD as well, IIRC. Perhaps I am confused by the term "workstation". I don't take it to mean a consumer-oriented PC, but as a computer geared towards doing general day-to-day work. Depending upon what your work is, FreeBSD fits the bill. David To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
