I boot FreeBSD/amd64 almost exclusively too. Only when I absolutely need Flash (and I very seldom do), I fire up VirtualBox o= n FreeBSD with a little OpenSolaris installation. Since this OpenSolaris guest lives in a single VirtualBox disk image, it doesn't clutter up my FreeBSD system, contrary to the whole Linux compat shims and RPMs needed to run the linux flash plugin. Of course, it's all a matter of personal tastes, likes and dislikes. I'd ra= ther have a native flash plugin for FreeBSD/amd64 too (Firefox and Opera), but this is unlikely in the near future, knowing the miserable track record of Adobe's FreeBSD "support". ;-) > Thanks, > Pongthep Regards, -cpghost. --=20 Cordula's Web. http://www.cordula.ws/
