Maybe --- depends on the foot to be applied. Dad has a big foot; thankfully enough, I suppose, it hasn't been placed there for 30 years give or take. Now, at work, I'm the boss, so if I have to deinstall every port on the box, I can take the day off and let it compile as long as Apache, PHP, dovecot, and fetchmail get "pkg_add" called first thing before anyone else shows up. (I suppose one difficulty there is that PHP seems to be more temperamental than it used to be before all the modules were "split off", but maybe that's the fact I've not played with the thing much lately other than to write code in it.) Which might show that there is some advantage to being a "one and 2/3" person organization. Of course, I can't think of many others that apply at present.
