We have so much computer power in our lab, but Windows just kills optimized use of it. So I'm trying to get them on to FreeBSD, but if I then also ask them to put extra effort in get simple things going..they turn my offer happily down and continue with Windows. And if even I don't get things working properly (flash etc.) then how can I expect them to do that?

So can I thus combine: FreeBSD-mozilla + linux-flash-plugin ? Thanks for your help and comments!

You need to be running a version of the OS with libmap support -- either 5.x, or recent 4.9-STABLE, or there are some patches against 4.9-RELEASE available, which might apply to earlier versions of the system. Just try installing the www/linuxpluginwrapper port -- it will tell you if your version of the OS is unsupported or not. Be sure to follow the instructions about setting up /etc/libmap.conf carefully. This lets you install both linux-flashplugin and acroread as browser plugins. Works nicely.

No. Linux-mozilla plus linux-flashplugin OR (preferred if you ask me): FreeBSD-mozilla plus linux-flashplugin6 plus linuxpluginwrapper. They're all in /usr/ports/www. Do read the blurb about 'libmap.conf' when installing the latter.

Hi, How am I ever be able to convince my labmembers that FreeBSD is so much better than M$-Window$, if they get stuck on FreeBSD already after two minutes by simply browsing with Mozilla to their favorite webpage?

This bug is biting some Linuxes as well. Bug 24427 - Get this when visiting the site: Gtk-WARNING **: invalid cast from `GtkSuperWin' to `GtkWidget' http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=224427 Until such time as it's fixed, is Opera the best we can do? I guess, but I'm with you ... let's get it fixed... I am growing quite attached to this dinosaur Moreover: how do I get rid of that annoying dialog Default Plugin, which asks me to Click OK to download Plugin. when an unknown plugin is encountered?

Likely there's a knob somewhere, though... Preferences? Hmm, a quick look doesn't help from here, does it :-( Thanks, Rob.
