I want them to use some Unix flavour, so I can run my own software in the
background of their 2.X GHz PCs. We have so much computer power in our
lab, but Windows just kills optimized use of it.
So I'm trying to get them on to FreeBSD, but if I then also ask them to
put extra effort in get simple things going......they turn my offer
happily down and continue with Windows.....

And if even I don't get things working properly (flash etc.) then how
can I expect them to do that?

So can I thus combine:
  FreeBSD-mozilla + linux-flash-plugin ?

Thanks for your help and comments!
