Hello.

Two more questions;

1. As a FreeBSD version for gramps is shown to be available at 
https://ports.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=gramps&stype=all

I am wondering whether gramps runs on MidnightBSD.

2. As, at http://app.midnightbsd.org/#!/category/46 , available packages 
for MidnightBSD, include
mate-backgrounds
mate-icon-theme
mate-themes

I am wondering whether the Mate desktop environment is available on 
MidnightBSD.

Thank you in anticipation.
