I am having some problems compiling programs such as lynx2-3-7 using the freebsd target. I really like the package but I am looking to reduce the time I spend building things. Is there a version of FreeBSD that you would recomend as having the *best* package support? I said *best* because I understand the nature of this project and I am very excited to have a 4.4 variant on intel hardware. But, I have been told that I need to get these packages up with linux if I can't get them up with FreeBSD. I really would rather work on FreeBSD because I like the clean nature of it vs the dense nature of Linux. Thanks for your time and keep up the great work.
