(I hope I have the context of the above correct - if not apologies in advance) Sorry, but I have to disagree. I think the average customer, (does this translate to user?), has a hell of a good time sifting through ports, I knowI do ;-), or they would not have bothered installing FreeBSD in the first place. People don't _always_ install an operating system just to hack on the kernel. If there are a good range of packages and ports it enhances the desirability of the operating system. Regards, Terry
