Dear FreeBSDers,
I must evidently be a rare (?) exception to this rule.
I have been running -STABLE and I have installed all of those dreaded=20
ports: cvsup16.1, KDE-1.1.2 (under XFree3.3.5 in spite of the port=20
indications), python, XFree86-3.3.6 (and NO Pam problems at all),=20
Linux_base-6.1, and the yet more dreaded StarOffice-5.1; I am writing=20
this from StarOffice-5.1a :-)
What's more, I met little to NO problems while installing them;=20
certainly I did NOT find most of the difficulties mentioned in this=20
list; moreover, I am HAPPILY running all of those ports ...
Best regards,
Salvo
