I guess they like FreeBSD ports better than NetBSD pkgsrc. NetBSD pkgsrc has been ported to many other OSes including some non-Unixoid, but I don't really want to use pkgsrc for Linux. DFly is rather incompatible with my system; I tried their live USB including the latest release 3.6.0 amd64 and i386. So is OpenBSD. Tom
