Sure, and they do.. I got them from Sunsite @ UTK.  But that's a lot of
work to have to go download gzip and GCC and all of the tools that are
pretty much necessary in order to do anything..

Sure the OpenWindows interface and all is kinda neat.. But the thing is a
vast resource hog (my P166/32/2.5 I was using didn't work out very well),
and at the same time I still feel a lack of control.

At least with Linux everything was 'there'.. I just can't stand linux
because of knowing where 'there' is..  Not apt to changing something that
works fine, so the FreeBSD box is here to stay.
