People are always saying how hard it is to install Debian : by dselect, FreeBSD is a nightmare. I hope this does go somewhere. In fact I : think I go home and experiment with porting Debian stuff to FreeBSD! Have you gone mad? FreeBSD's ports system is the best I have ever seen, I have ran Linux(RedHat, Slack, Debian), OpenBSD, FreeBSD.. I stuck with FreeBSD for a damn good reason. How difficult is it to "cd /usr/ports ; make search key=<what you are looking for>" It don't get much easier then that people.. I'm in love with the ports tree, and I'd hate to see it trashed for some poor[*] precompiled packaging system.
