<small gripe>
Until my ATI Radeon 9600XT is fully supported, I can't say ... I have 2D but 
not 3D in FreeBSD.
</small gripe>

Of course, I got the card for gaming, but most of the games I have are for 
win32 (one of the only reasons I keep it installed anymore), so it's not that 
big of a deal, and I don't think of *BSD as a gaming platform. Still, the 
card is over a year old at this point ... Wish I could write device drivers, 
but even after some studying, it's still very much a mystery to me. However, 
xmame keeps me pretty happy, that is until I get an itch to play Medieval: 
Total War, Homeworld 2 or Morrowind, but at that point I have to reboot 
anyway. I sincerely hope Project Evil will eventually allow me to utilize my 
video card fully, if a 3D driver for *BSD isn't developed for it.
