FreeBSD supports linux elf and a.out binaries. This compatibility is very good but there are a few programs that will not run. E.g., vnc for linux doesn't work (but there's a freebsd port for it so it's not a big deal). Staroffice, applixware and many other important apps run fine. Perhaps it would help if you listed the software you needed to run, and people could then give specific answers as to how well these binaries work. -- Steve Farrell To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
