This can go a long way from alleviating the needs of those who want to USE FreeBSD and not just hack on the kernel or with its utilities. Also, it may save the end users including myself from having to compile packages all over again. I do it however I can see that many will not like to or an unable due to system resources to re-compile some of the Apps. Amancio
