Okay, one more question. I setup a second computer to export the desktop
from my main computer. That's the computer on which I installed FreeBSD.
When I export X in SuSE it fires up a bunch of libraries. Will it be
possible to export to FreeBSD or do I need to isntall those libraries? Can
I install those libraries? Also, I bought a couple apps (Quanta Pro, Star
Office for SuSE). Is it easy to install Linux apps on FreeBSD or is
compatibility for commercial software like that pretty low?
