People were complaining about it on -hackers, just the other day, when it took them 8 hours to pull it down over their 28k modem. Can you point us at *binary* releases for versious OSs? For 28k modem users, this puts them in the 1.5 hour range for a 14M download. PS: UNIX people tend to use UNIX for everything. This includes browsing. It doesn't make a heck of a lot of sense to run some other OS, if your intent is to not run that OS on your servers, as well, so a UNIX ship will have UNIX desktops, and they will probably be the same flavor of UNIX as they have deployed for their hosting facilities, since it also makes little sense to have to keep people up to speed on several OSs, rather than, say, doing useful work. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
