OpenBSD's Red Hat Compatibility Package Updated

Dan writes "Jason Ish has updated the redhat/base OpenBSD port from Red Hat 6.2 to Red Hat 8.0. The email note is a few days old, but the port seems to have been committed yesterday. So far he has tested with Opera and Netscape. If you run any Linux apps on OpenBSD, you are encouraged to test these commits and provide feedback. (Several people have reported success running Opera 6.12, Opera7 with some tweaks, and Netscape)."

Good News Hopefully

The only problem I've had, using OpenBSD as my desktop, is that RealPlayer for Linux froze whenever it would try to access the network. Strangely enough, this was not a problem as of 3.0, but only came into effect after.

Since RealPlayer and Opera had the same basic problems, I think it's safe to assume RealPlayer should be working once again... I've grabbed the latest port, and I'll be trying it soon. I'll reply to this once I can give first-hand answers.
