If that were so, why would I take the time to report them in the first place, just to be some kind of silly liar for the fun of it? And why would I take 20+ hours to download 2.2.7 at 26.4k over the Net, just so I could find a reason to tell lies about it? I refuse to document them because I didn't write down specifics at the time (my mistake), and no longer have 2.2.7 in my possession to test them again and write down the details. Also, being simply a casual hobbyist and not a FreeBSD developer or member of the core team, I don't see that it's MY JOB to document these kinds of problems, simply to mention them. Let those who have committed themselves to working on FreeBSD research the problem. I get nothing whatsoever out of all this, including the posting you interpret as a "pack of lies." >If you are unable to provide us with constructive criticism - or even >a detailed list of packages or features which do not work - then I'm >not sure anybody here will be sorry to see you switch to Linux. I'm not willing to go through another 20 hour download, no. If that means I should switch to Linux, well... perhaps I will. It has certainly been in my thoughts as of late. -- My web site starts at http://www.serv.net/~fewtch/index.html - lots of goodies for everyone, have a look if you have the time.
