People have been talking about what they would like from FreeBSD and stuff
like that.  I have been wondering...I remember way back when I installed
(or tried to install) FreeBSD 2.2.2, it installed old versions of Perl and
other stuff, when there was a brand new (stable, I think) version of Perl.
I think it installed Perl 4.0 when there was a Perl 5.003 at the time.

Does the installation process of newer version of FreeBSD do the same, or
have they fixed it so that new software versions get installed?  I know
that Linux was always up to date on things like that, but then again Linux
usually gets ported to pretty quick.

Anyways....in case that FreeBSD is still slow on getting new software
versions installed during installation...maybe it's time that FreeBSD
speeds up things like this.  But that's only in case they haven't done so
already.

Just my opinion and stuff, if it matters.  :)
