Thanks Arno. And supported in FreeBSD since about '96 as far as I can tell. Shows how far behind the (freebsd) times I am. Nothing in the multi-media section of the handbook though and only a very old version of Rosegarden for instance. Better stick with Linux I guess... -- John. _______________________________________________ freebsd-chat@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-chat To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-chat-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
