<title>Desktop Applications</title>

<title>Synopsis</title>
<para>FreeBSD can run a wide variety of desktop applications, such
as browsers and word processors. Most of these are available as
packages or can be automatically built from the ports
collection. Many new users expect to find these kinds of
applications on their desktop. This chapter will show you how
to install some popular desktop applications effortlessly,
either from their packages or from the Ports Collection.</para>
<para>Note that when installing programs from the ports, they are
compiled from source. This can take a very long time, depending
on what you are compiling and the processing power of your
machine(s). If building from source takes a prohibitively long
amount of time for you, you can install most of the programs of
the Ports Collection from pre-built packages.</para>
<para>As FreeBSD features Linux binary compatibility, many
applications originally developed for Linux are available for
your desktop. It is strongly recommended that you read
<xref linkend="linuxemu"> before installing any of the Linux
applications. Many of the ports using the Linux binary
compatibility start with <quote>linux-</quote>. Remember this
when you search for a particular port, for instance with
&man.whereis.1;. In the following text, it is assumed that you
have enabled Linux binary compatibility before installing any of
the Linux applications.</para>

<para>FreeBSD does not come with a particular browser
pre-installed. Instead, the

ready to be installed. If you do not have time to compile
everything (this can take a very long time in some cases) many
of them are available as packages.</para>
<para><application>KDE</application> and
<application>GNOME</application> already provide HTML browsers.
Please refer to <xref linkend="x11-wm"> for more information on

<title>Mozilla</title>
<indexterm>
<primary><application>Mozilla</application></primary>
</indexterm>
<para><application>Mozilla</application> is a modern,
stable browser that is fully ported to FreeBSD: it features a very
standards-compliant HTML display engine; it provides a mail
and news reader. It even has a HTML composer if you plan to
write some web pages yourself. Users of
<application>&netscape;</application> will recognize the
similarities with the <application>Communicator</application>
suite, as both browsers share some development history.</para>
<para>On slow machines, with a CPU speed less than 233MHz or
with less than 64MB of RAM, <application>Mozilla</application>
can be too resource-demanding to be fully usable. You may
want to look at the <application>Opera</application> browser
instead, described a little later in this chapter.</para>
<para>If you cannot or do not want to compile
<application>Mozilla</application>, for whatever reason, the FreeBSD
GNOME team has already done this for you. Just install the
package from the network by:</para>
<screen>&prompt.root; <userinput>pkg_add -r mozilla</userinput></screen>
<para>If the package is not available, and you have enough time
and disk space, you can get the source for
<application>Mozilla</application>, compile it and install it
on your system. This is accomplished by:</para>
<screen>&prompt.root; <userinput>cd /usr/ports/www/mozilla</userinput>
&prompt.root; <userinput>make install clean</userinput></screen>
<para>The <application>Mozilla</application> port ensures a
correct initialization by running the chrome registry setup
with <username>root</username> privileges. However, if you
want to fetch some add-ons like mouse gestures, you must run
<application>Mozilla</application> as
<username>root</username> to get them properly
installed.</para>
<para>Once you have completed the installation of
<application>Mozilla</application>, you do not need to be
<username>root</username> any longer. You can start
<application>Mozilla</application> as a browser by typing:</para>
<screen>&prompt.user; <userinput>mozilla</userinput></screen>
<para>You can start it directly as a mail and news reader as
shown below:</para>
<screen>&prompt.user; <userinput>mozilla -mail</userinput></screen>

just a browser, which makes it smaller and faster.</para>
<para>Install the package by typing:</para>

<para><application>Opera</application> is a
full-featured and standards-compliant browser. It also
comes with a built-in mail and news reader, an IRC client,
an RSS/Atom feeds reader and much more. Despite this,
<application>Opera</application> is relatively lightweight
and very fast. It comes in two flavors: a <quote>native</quote>
FreeBSD version and a version that runs under Linux
emulation.</para>
<para>To browse the Web with the FreeBSD version of <application>Opera</application>,
install the package:</para>
<screen>&prompt.root; <userinput>pkg_add -r opera</userinput></screen>
<para>Some FTP sites do not have all the packages, but
<application>Opera</application> can still be obtained
through the Ports Collection by typing:</para>
<screen>&prompt.root; <userinput>cd /usr/ports/www/opera</userinput>
&prompt.root; <userinput>make install clean</userinput></screen>
<para>To install the Linux version of
<application>Opera</application>, substitute
<literal>linux-opera</literal> in place of
<literal>opera</literal> in the examples above. The Linux
version is useful in situations requiring the use of plug-ins
that are only available for Linux, such as <application>Adobe

different languages — internationalization has been
extended to interfaces, spell checkers, and
