You instead replaced it with a Main Web Site link (for dumb people that don't realize that the Long Description link usually contains a web site too). Obviously catering to linux kiddies.......sad I know you seem to be trying to get more people from linux over to FreeBSD but you sure are messing up on the way.....a little planning i think....OSX got messed up by FreeBSD's sudo....right? you just had a nice hole in your telentd......in the main distribution (nice little sign you have on your web site). I have to say FreeBSD is becoming more pathetic each day. It still is better than linux. My only question is for how long. Just a little rant, I know you donate time......just preserve FreeBSD's stability and appeal as a good system to develop on......thats all.
