How about running it on FreeBSD as a Linux binary? i did think about that .. but, the root cause of my systems unreliability is running xfree itself, i get allsorts of core dumps from all sorts of programs, from ee upto teh big daddy netscape, thier is no rhyme or reason. it all started soon after v2.1.7 and i cannot pin it down. i was happily runing freebsd and xfree on a i486dx33 with 16 mb then i upgraded to v2.1.7 AND this problem started, a freind suggested it was time to update. i went to a p5-133 and 64 mb dram and pci buslogic 958, smc digital chip set nic, and a stb trio 64v+ graphcis card .. the same problem manifested, so i thought i'd give it one last try. another freind had some spare time and cash, and built me a supermicro p6sne with real intel p6-180 and smc 10-100 mb nic, 128 mb of ecc full parity dram a matrox millenium II with about 16 mb and a aha2940 uw scsi card .. i added a ibm 5400 rpm 4.3 gb hd .. generious arn't i .. grin. and still i have this probllem .. go back to freebsd v2.1.5 and no problems, everything works a treat .. x wise that is. freebsd works a treat on all this grunt hardware .. just i cannot get xfree to stabalise and i don't where to start. its bloody annoying. sorry peoples, i just see all the frustration and all teh people tellin me how to suck eggs on this one, and still no brass ring. > > > I took a brief look a building Amaya on NetBSD, then got > > > > how did it compare with arena, look and feel isues,tools availability ? > > Never got it working.
