I thought Sun was going to fix that. In any case, my diablo-jdk16 timezone file is MIA, so I'm wedged as far as further upgrading goes. Been thinking over what someone said recently about restricting or dropping further ports. BSD is the best opensource system around. But keeping everything current is painful. Does anybody know if PCBSD is as pushbutton as, say, Ubuntu is? I'll always use FreeBSD on my DNS, apache22, and mail server side. Zero crashes in 7 years. But if I want to play music or watch a DVD--or do serious web video stuff--I use Ubuntu. I'd like to say kilowatts by having one "tao" that can handle everything from hacking code to playing a movie. There is the talent here to fix the fixable ... at the same time, we've all got real lives, jobs, school, families, etc. And a limited volunteer base. ...That's my dime's worth. gary [*] to spare raging replies, no, i am not a sexist/chauvinist. Only 30 years ago about a third of my computer class was female. Not to mention some drop-dead blondes in my ckt theory class... . I mean, some serious female EE talent there! :-) ... Now?? dunno.
