FreeBSD will naturally be more organized in this respect since the entire system is under the survey and control of one organization. This certainly makes it conveniant because you only have one source of information, and thusly it will be (or is easily made) uniform. I can't quite subscribe to a Slackware Linux mailing list and get information on changes to MySQL as well as Apache, but it's not out of the question for me to listen in on MySQL, Apache, and Slackware information channels, although their mechanisms obviously are not uniform. I suppose our needs just vary. :) But hey, we love FreeBSD too. -MB To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
