I find them quite easy to install: dependencies work very well. I don't think this is necessarily the case with rpms, right? Yes, ports do get broken, but usually if you post a message as to what's going on, it's fixed rather quickly. My only complaint is that I've got a modem, so downloading is slow. But that's not a BSD problem. -- David Kanter djkanter@nwu.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
