Second is, basically all I was saying from the beginning, that NT doesn't prevent you from using X protocol compliant apps. It just doesn't support as the only windowing environment but again "NT supports X protocol compliant apps both running on NT with display on another machine and vice versa" Now my question about FreeBSD: Is there a MACH server for FreeBSD ? Or what is the best setup for MACH 3.0 or 4.0 running on one of the free UNIX clones ? thanks Muzaffer
