Now that was funny<nobr> <wbr></nobr>:) So just because *BSD doesen't have native applications like acrobat reader, real player or browser plugins, that means debian is better? You haven't even used it and you claim you favorite linux distro is better.
By the way, I have linux_base-8-8.0_14 and I run linux-sun-jdk-1.4.2.10 linux-realplayer-10.0.6.776 linux-opera-8.52.20060201 linux-flashplugin-7.0r63 acroread7-7.0.1,1
The article said that real player doesen't work with linux_base8, but it works fine for me. I also run a linux binary of openoffice2.0 just because i didn't want to compile it or get the frebsd binary wich was compiled for a RELEASE version since I'm running stable.
All these apps took just one command each to install automatically, so yes, it does have something just as good as apt-get The freebsd ports collection has 14271 applications and counting. If it's not in there, you don't need it<nobr> <wbr></nobr>;)
The only problem I had with linux compatibility was that jdk 1.5 crashed badly when I tried running Azureus on it. jdk-1.4.2 also crashes, but not as bad<nobr> <wbr></nobr>:). I only use java with linux compatibility because I use linux-opera, for the flash plugin, so I also need a java plugin. Freebsd also has a native version of java, so that's not a big problem.
