Welcome to the club. Of course FreeBSD supports C, that's he language it was written in. As for clustering, I believe that just about any unix variant is capable of it in some form or another. Graphics functions are available, but it depends on what type you are looking for. In this case, the ports collection is your friend. once you have FreeBSD installed, I recommend that you type man intro man ports man hier and also read the handbook less /usr/share/doc/handbook/book.txt I suggest you spend some time reading the handbook before asking too many questions on the mailing lists, as you will find the majority of the answers in there. Good luck & have fun Cheers Tim -- Tim Aslat Spyderweb Consulting http://www.spyderweb.com.au Phone: +61 0401088479
