Configuration Information

This site has been extensively tested using the following 

Operating Systems Windows NT4,95/98/ME/XP, RedHat Linux 5.1 (with KDE 2.0 desktop), Mac OS 9, FreeBSD 4.3 and BeOS

Hardware PC's using Intel, AMD and Cyrix processors, Apple iMac, Various laptops..

While the site is workable on all the hardware tested, the myriad of possible configurations precludes fully guaranteeing that it will work on your system. Most problems appear on laptops, where to save disk space, certain system components may have been omitted at installation. The authors regret that support can only be provided for Windows and iMac configurations. Because of the modifiable nature of the BSD and Linux kernels it is almost impossible to exactly replicate a customer's configuration. Be, the makers of BeOS have sold all intellectual properties to Palm Inc. who have announced that development of the operating system and support have ceased, there are however still many third part support sites on the internet. Windows NT users should ensure that they have the latest service pack installed.
