I am now greatly considering converting my linux box (x86) at home to a NetBSD machine. ...But I have a few questions first: I have several elf apps that I use frequently at home: Netscape 3.01 & StarOffice 3.1 both are statically-linked Motif elf binaries ... will they work under NetBSD? Another question: has anyone gotten WindowMaker, Nextaw, GNUstep, or SPICE to work under NetBSD? Thank you very much in advance, -David Bauer Christensen PS Keep up the good work! dave@firmworks.com System Administrator -------------------------------- FirmWorks 480 San Antonio Rd.
