If you're comfortable installing your own tarballs and don't need the help from a ports collection, I would not call BSD/OS "behind." In my experience, the BSD/OS core is more robust and faster. There are numerous features in BSD/OS not found in FreeBSD. Multilink PPP, token-ring drivers, SDL T1 card support (which is excellent), and others I'm probably forgetting at the moment. And softupdates have been very stable in BSD/OS for some time now. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
