Hi, can somebody tell me if the FreeBSD distribution can mount (read/write) a 
NeXTSTEP filesystem? What's this I hear about Linux binary compatability? 

Does the BSDI Netscape 2.0 work? including JAVA?

I've got compatible hardware so that's not a concern and redhat installed with
very little trouble.

What about the FreeBSD DOS filesystem compatability?

I'm thinking of going with the Walnut Creek CD... Is that the only distribution? Is new distribution planned shortly? I guess I can just upgrade the kernel?

Anybody using FreeBSD with System Commander?
