I like to go "down" fighting not standing down. If they don't make port for FreeBSD can you remove the stuff from the ftp.cdrom.com site. This is my thinking they are so in love with linux yet they have not been able to provide an adequate linux ftp site. It seems to me that they have dollars and can buy the expertise to provide adequate ftp services be that linux or some other platform. As you stated they are linux fanatics let the linux community provide free bandwith and computing resources. For the html link to their directory in the Web Server a *black* background with a red ribbon in protest of not providing a FreeBSD port. This may or may not work but for sure the current strategy is not working . Don't mind me my old Puerto Rican blood well is boiling and you ought to hear the keyboard and I am amazed I that have not pop a key!
