Partly true - some apps are ported and some not. Some of the "not" should
work anyway. What's the pressure to use FreeBSD as opposed to a Linux
distribution?

A general question:
I have been told that if we put freeBSD on our school server, we will be
able to run all of the various linux-based programs. True? caveats?
thanks,

I just sent that message.  I think these folks would be a good addition 
to Schoolforge; we'll see what _they_ think.  Folks here might want to 
visit their mailing list archives and read through them (the second URL 
in Jeremy's message) to see what they're doing.  An early message in 
their archive mentions Schoolforge, but they seem to think we're only 
about computer programs.  I tried to correct that misconception--we'll 
see how well I did.
