Utility is definitely a personal variable. I run a FreeBSD-6-stable workstation at AMD64 and am more or less happy with it, but I also have a MacOS laptop, which I can fall back to for anything that falls out of the FreeBSD-amd64 capability bucket, like watching the google Android videos on youtube, (and I know where to find a Windows laptop when that isn't enough, either). [Since when were video-only web presentations a good idea? Not a trend I approve of, but for "quick-and-dirty" I suppose it saves having someone write up a transcript...] Certainly xorg, firefox (and epiphany, which I prefer) and MUA (thunderbird, evolution, mutt, claws-mail(my pref.)) all work happily in amd64 mode. -- Andrew _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
