You can use most Linux programs as if they were native. Currently I am 
using native Linux Acrobat Reader and Netscape with no problems at all. 
Install them through ports and they just work. I understand that SCO 
binaries work as well, but I can't imagine that you would want to :-P

Welcome to the club. Just remember that this is not the list for 
technical or installation questions. Send them to -questions instead. 
Read the Handbook and FAQ (or at least the parts that are relevant to 
you). They are very well written.
