I have FreeBSD servers that have 30 ports installed. My desktop has 714. It should be up to me what runs on the box, not the manufacturer. I don't need a ton of cruft to run a single application that does some sort of task for me. Even the webservers I maintain have less than 60 ports installed. Paul Schmehl, If it isn't already obvious, my opinions are my own and not those of my employer. ****************************************** WARNING: Check the headers before replying
