I am guessing it is only needed if I want to use an application that was compiled by/for Linux, but I am new to FreeBSD so I will be using it mostly for: 1 - learning the system (i.e. what goes where, when and why) and how to configure whatever can be configured. 2 - running GNUstep and related development applications to compliment my Obj-C/Cocoa development. 3 - running GNOME and/or KDE since GNUstep has a limited number of applications available, most notably, a web browser. 4 - learning to create and use shell scripts to customize my environment. The only applications I will be using are the ones in the ports collection that I can use portmanager to create and update. ____________________________________________________________________________________ 8:00? 8:25? 8:40?
