HAHA! yeah, I was impressed with Leo's general knowledge. he seems to know a little bit about practically everything technical. very funny. > And guys, your smiles near 00:42:30 were also nice, when that gentleman was > talking about that wonderful RedHat security system ;) Anyway, that was a > good point, do FreeBSD ports have something like audit-packages from > NetBSD's pkgsrc? :) we tried to keep it civil ;) doesn't portupgrade have pkgdb -F or something? or maybe a pkg_info -g. > I suppose, that showing how easy it is to use ports to compile new software > (like, say, xmms 1.2.8, which was released few days ago, AFAIK) could really > knock Linux out.
