While performing my upgrade to gnome 2.12.1, I noticed that in the FAQ there is a mention of using cvsup for updating the ports tree. Perhaps we could add a mention of portsnap as well, now that it is in the base system. On another note, I've been using a few FreeBSD-specific gnome/gtk apps that improve the usability of the system and the integration with the desktop environment, like sysutils/thefish, sysutils/gtk-send-pr and even sysutils/bpm. The thing is, someone who hasn't been using FreeBSD for a long time, is unlikely to be aware of their existence. If they could be included in gnome2-power-tools or somesuch (gnome2-freebsd-tools, gnome2-system-tools?), chances are they could be spotted more easily. I suspect there might be others among the 13000 ports I haven't discovered yet and I personally have some plans for some new ones. It would be nice if there could be a metaport to host them all. Regards, Panagiotis
