Also, hasn't this come up before? >Seems to be a favourite topic of yours :) Well, I don't remember everything I have ever said. :) But I sure find this kind of exaggerated PC silly. On a totally different topic, I have just cvsupped my ports collection. I then tried to get a port just to be told I needed to upgrade my ports make file. I went to freebsd.org/ports/ and found out they no longer support my version (3.1). I wish CVSup knew about it somehow. Now I have no way of going back to what I had before, so I could at least get the ports that work with my system. This is very frustrating! Greg has told me quite a while ago that I do not have enough memory for v.4. I have always liked FreeBSD because it would run on just about anything, even old 386's. I am disappointed that FreeBSD no longer officially supports my 6 year old system (Pentium 100, 8 Meg). I am finding myself spending less and less time in FreeBSD: I only use it as a development platform for my CGI needs for my web sites (which are hosted by pair Networks on FreeBSD 2.7 or so). And it saddens me when I see rich kids saying, "so what, memory is cheap." Hey, if it were cheap, I'd have upgraded it long time ago. I was making $800/month as a nursing assistant for the last 6 years. And I just lost that job 2.5 weeks ago. I could, of course, work as a programmer for a lot more than that, except no one needs any programmers where I live (Northern WI). Plus, I am disabled enough not to find ANY job in this town, but not enough to collect disability. (The nerve endings on my feet are dead so I have no feeling in my feet.)
