No. FreeBSD is an O/S, and as such you can't run it as an application under Windows. > If not, please tell me about a unix, such as Reflections X that can be > used under windows NT... thank you That's not UNIX. Reflections-X is a X-Server you're running under NT; and you can use it for any UNIX box that understands X (and that includes FreeBSD). -- Jonathan Chen ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Computers are like air conditioners.
