Over the past month we have made some major progress on the BSD port of Bordeaux. Bordeaux for FreeBSD now has a .sh installer, the same one that we use on Linux, so you will need to have py-gtk installed for the installer to work properly.
We also have a newly built .pbi for PC-BSD 7, a big thanks goes out to the folks at PC-BSD for doing the packaging for us. If you use PC-BSD you will need to install Wine 1.1.4 from their PBI directory in order for Bordeaux to work, prior versions of Wine in the directory don't have support for wineprefixcreate.
Some of the major changes in this build are activex, flash and java are automatically installed for you when IE 6 is installed. Now IE 6 should open most pages that require activex support. We have the back end of the new cellar-manager mostly done now, to see what changes are planed just run cellar-manager --help and you will see a list of all the planed features. This version also incorporates the newest winetricks script and the updates that have been made to it over the past couple months. and of course lots of tweaks and bug fixes.

Over the last couple day's I have been working on the Bordeaux for FreeBSD 7 port. We now have everything compiling and running but a lot more testing needs to be done before it's ready for a final release. Internet Explorer, Steam and Office 2003/2007 are the only applications ive gotten around to testing thus far. The good news is everything that I have tested works fairly well on FreeBSD.
If you're a FreeBSD user and need to run any of the software that we currently support on the Linux client you might be interested in helping beta test this build and future builds up to the final stable release. At this time we cant give away beta builds, but what we can do is if you decide to purchase a license from the store for FreeBSD (beta) your support will last six months after the final build is released, so don't worry you will get a full six months of upgrades and support on the final product. And by purchasing a pre release build you can submit your input and help support the development process.
Also, if we get enough interest in beta testing we could start a beta testing mailing list as well.. So if your interested in helping out head over to the store and purchase a license and send us a mail. If you have a friend or know of someone interested in this please send them our way.

About Internet Explorer :
Windows Internet Explorer (formerly Microsoft Internet Explorer abbreviated MSIE), commonly abbreviated to IE, is a series of graphical web browsers developed by Microsoft and included as part of the Microsoft Windows line of operating systems starting in 1995. It has been the most widely used web browser since 1999, attaining a peak of about 95% usage share during 2002 and 2003 with IE5 and 6 but steadily declining since, despite the introduction of IE7. Microsoft spent over 100 million dollars (USD) a year in the late 1990s, with over 1000 people working on IE by 1999. source

Bordeaux cost $20.00 and at this time and sadly there isnt a demo version, hopefully this will change and a demo will be released for in the 2.x release cycle. There is a possibility a standard free version will be released with just a couple small applications supported and a pro version with more application support.
Internet Explorer Install :
Bordeaux is dependant on Wine 1.0 being installed on your system, so the first thing you need to do is download and install Wine for your distro if its not already installed. Once you have Wine installed open a terminal and run $ winecfg this will create a .wine directory in your home directory.
