Overall, I've gotten the best results with Linux-Opera. It works fine with Acroread, Java and Flash. I've not tried Real Player. The only thing it can't do is use the MPlayer plugin. Opera 9.10 (FreeBSD native) supposedly takes Linux plugins directly, which would be a huge step in the right direction. Flash 9 even works, through it is still a bit unstable. Native Firefox/Epiphany/linuxpluginwrapper works fine for me with Acroread, Flash sites coded for older players (but please see http://www.jail.se/freebsd.html for the appropriate patch) and Java. FWIW, while the Poppler-based PDF viewers like Evince and KPDF work well for many documents, for the really complicated ones there is no replacement for Acroread. Yes, this is on 6.2-RC. Frank
