First of all, thank you for reading my message. I have some questions for you. I very like FreeBSD, but I think that there is not enough flexibility of choosing installation data. I am not a simple dummy user, I even have written my tiny kernel, but due to my age (17) now I have to finish my school, read a lot of books not linked with computers at all!, etc., etc... In a word I need an OS with which I could complete my tasks. I think that FreeBSD is the best choice! OK. Now the question itself: I would like to replace installed perl, GCC, etc. ... But, how you know, all these programs are installed as the base system, so how I could update them, should I simply replace them by newer ones??? And one more, what do you think about my english? I guess you've noticed that I am not from England or America? I am from Lithuania, but I am not Lithuanian, I am German, I only live here... Thanks for all!
