I haven't played with it at all - others (who have) may be able to help you more than I can: I'm just going by the documentation. As I understand it, FreeBSD will run most Linux binaries natively, as long as you install a suitable Linux environment (libraries etc). The easiest way to do this is to install a Linux version from ports (probably emulators/linux_base-f8 which will install a basic Fedora 8) which will create /compat/linux. You then install your Linux software in the usual way. I suspect you'll receive better offers of help if you start this process and then let the list know where you break down. Jonathan
