Hello Everyone, I have a small blog about running Wine on Unix operating systems and over the last couple days I''ve been experimenting with Wine on FreeBSD 7 beta 2 (I see beta 4 is out, many thanks!) If anyone here is interested I ran Office 97 and 2000 out of the box on FreeBSD 7beta no registry files or special hacks needed. Ive also run a couple small applications (Qicktime 7.1.6) (IE 5 5.5 6) and then some benchmarks 3DMark 2000v1.1, 3DMark2001SE, GL Excess and PC Mark04. In the future ill see if I can get 3DMark 2003 and 3DMark 2005 to run and produce results as well. I don''t know if any of you guys or gals are Gamers.... But just in case I also installed Halo in Wine and it runs about the same on FreeBSD as it does on Linux. With D3D, DDraw and OpenGL working most every game that is running in Wine should run on FreeBSD.. I don''t know this as fact as I''ve only tried one Game and four Benchmarks, but it does look promising.

It''s worth noting that the WINE project, not long ago, abandoned the BSD license for the GPL despite urging from many sources to keep the code open and free for use by developers. We''ve stopped using it as a result. --Brett Glass At 10:59 AM 12/6/2007, Tom Wickline wrote:>Oh yea, were seeking contributors... if your interested in Wine on >FreeBSD and believe you can >help us out see : >http://wine-review.blogspot.com/2007/12/wine-review-is-currently-seeking.html

You still have *freedom* of choice. Regardless of the current license of Wine they have merit for what they have done. Any open source developer regardless of his "Creed" has merit in fact. ;-)> At 10:59 AM 12/6/2007, Tom Wickline wrote: > >>Oh yea, were seeking contributors... if your interested in Wine on >>FreeBSD and believe you can >>help us out see : >>http://wine-review.blogspot.com/2007/12/wine-review-is-currently-seeking.html

LRPL is closer, but the folks who call GPL free are either lying or ignorant. They want to force you to do things their way, but they don''t want you to be able to call that coercion.> Tom > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hackers-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
