This way poeple get both with no muss. 2. It's ideal for managing the ports/packages... have a port.html or package.html with each package/port that explains each with an "install" option that would do the installation. 3. include the modified HTTPD which allows for aliased hosts. I think that this alone will make freeBSD the os of choice for all ISP's. Paul
