This works very well up until you need to customize a package, and then = you need to figure out yourself if that change requires dependancies to = also be rebuilt. AFAIK, there=E2=80=99s no real good way to integrate a = pkg install and a ports install. But if you are fine with existing packages and their build options (and = I=E2=80=99d guess most people are?) pkg is definitely the way to go. --=20 Stone circles were common enough everywhere in the mountains. Druids built them as weather computers, and since it was always cheaper to build a new 33-Megalith circle than to upgrade an old slow one, there were generally plenty of ancient ones around --Lords and Ladies
