I don't know his exact problems either, but I could name you a few examples that currently reduce the fun of using FreeBSD: - The sound sytem is broken in FreeBSD in all 5.x and 6 versions, and I would like to listen to a few mp3-files from time to time. - To my surprise it's almost impossible to use the parallel port with interrupts ("interrupt storms"), polling mode works... - wlan is broken, my Thinkpad keeps losing WPA-PSK connection very often (probably kern/88793). - Keeping the system and the ports up to date gets more and more time consuming and risky (especially when compared to an "apt-get update && apt-get upgrade"). For example, the last devel/pear update in the ports crashed my PHP installations on 2 development machines (still no clue how to fix this). Don't get me wrong, I certainly don't want to complain, I just wanted to give you some examples. Uwe
