Out of interest, has FreeBSD considered implementing an equivalent of Debian's "popularity-contest" package, which periodically submits anonymised lists of installed packages? On FreeBSD this could be from the pkg database, and could also include hardware information. In Debian, it's opt-in at install time, or installable afterward. If FreeBSD had a similar package and installer opt-in, this could potentially provide useful usage statistics without any privacy concerns. Regards, Roger
