Second, HTML is a bad idea (at least it came through as an attachment, but I believe it was just a copy of your ASCII message). Your mail program should be configurable to these standards. -snip machine descriptions: these sound fine- > The main software that I use is Photoshop 4.01, K.P.Tools 3.

That said, The Gimp is a sort of combination Photoshop/Illustrator piece of software that works fairly well for what I've used it for and it might suit your needs. There's an associated vector drawing program, GYVE, which should complement Gimp. You can check The Gimp out at: http://www.gimp.org/ In terms of 3D possibilities, Blender is now out for FreeBSD and although I haven't tried it, what I've heard suggests it is nice. You can check out Blender at: http://www.neogeo.nl/blender.html It may be that that these programs won't suit your purposes in which case switching to FreeBSD may not be that useful to you. If it doesn't seem that FreeBSD is what you need, you might think about trying a Mac. There are certainly many graphic artists who use Macs and you could then still have Photoshop, KPT Bryce etc... Feel free to ask further questions if you have them. Good luck!
