I'm inclined to say that an entirely new distribution is a bad idea, because it will involve a great deal of duplicated effort. What was done recently with Perl was a tremendous step in the right direction, and a good compromise for those of us who want a smaller base system. I would like to see this sort of packaging extended to other unnecessary packages in the base system. The largest barrier seems to be differing definitions of "unnecessary" in this context. -Zak To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
