That is exactly why I gave up on Linux. The last time I did that I wanted a
68k news reader and had to download 175M of stuff to upgrade my entire
system. Gladly I have never done this on FBSD. Examples, such as this, need
to be put in the face of Linux users and advocates. This is the prefect type
of promotion to attest to the power of BSD.
