> Also try to go with portsnap for ports IMHO it's the path of least > resistance ;-) I will try portsnap, and read about the pkgdb database. If all these tools ultimately resolve to pkgdb, I will try to learn about that. I have tried PC-BSD, and look forward to version 9.0. I really don't like KDE, though. I hear some rumblings about a Gnome developer wanting to drop BSD support, so maybe I better start liking KDE. PC-BSD seems to have done a great job reproducing the way Mac's install software, by using self-contained bundles (PBI's). And next version of PBI is supposed to not need a GUI. I'm sure I will be trying the next version PC-BSD. Hopefully to be released soon. thanks!
