Well I am dilligently reading as much of the various discussions as time and vocabulary will allow, and I am happy to report that I am able to understand and follow more and more of what is being discussed. Which isn't to say I understand much. :-) Anyhow, I understand that there are ports - as in stuff that has been recompiled to work in a new environment (such as FreeBSD) from another environment (say, Linux). Then, there are ports - as in that to which a number is assigned by IANA for TCP and UDP. Having R(some of)TFM, I have a question or two. It isn't coincidence that these things have the same name is it? What precisely do these things have in common and what separates them? Thanks ya'll. thanks, chris lists@vivdev.com _____________________________________________ /"\ ASCII Ribbon campaign against E-Mail \ / in gratuitous HTML and Microsoft X proprietary formats. / \ Post no attachments to the lists! _______________________________________________ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
