I assume PKGs replace RPMs, but can the RPM feature be added if I get it from rpm.com?? Or do I need to find my fav software in PKG format exclusively. 2. What Libs version does FreeBSD 3.2 use? I'm use to find stuff that runs in GLIBC. If I use Linux software with BSD that is GLIBC will it work? IE..will Quake 3 work under FreeBSD? If things are totally diffrent what do I look for in a compatible Linux binary? Any help with these questions is appreciated.
