Please tell me where my "rabid hate mail" is above. I'd like to know. There is a cost to developing things. This cost is in the development tools. Sometimes this cost is in money, hard drive space, time spent, etc. So don't call us Microsoft-like bloatists when we require a few more tools to do development. For the 99% of people who have ever installed FreeBSD and don't do handbook development, they don't even see a difference. Get a fucking clue and understand what you're arguing against. -- Bill Fumerola - Network Architect / Computer Horizons Corp - CVM e-mail: billf@chc-chimes.com / billf@FreeBSD.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
