Then again, sometimes I wish all the software I wanted to use was free. It would be really cool to have a Java port, but I don't think I have enough system-level experience to contribute anything but encouragement to a porting effort. The original question regarded guile, I think it may someday be a very impressive package, but for now its rather unpolished and lacking right now. I know lots of people at school with linux installed using basically the same applications as I do, homework for thier CS classes as well as for a SLIP or PPP connection. The number I know using freebsd is about 5 I think, linux is probably closer to 100. I can't explain that one. -josh
