I like the separation of the complete OS and third part software in Ports Collection. I love the ability to upgrade from one major release to another using source upgrade - without doing a complete reinstall, as with the Linux distros I've used. I went straight from 5.4-> 6.1 without any hassle. The EOL schedule for Fedora is almost killing me, and every new release means a complete reinstall - in practice. I boot FreeBSD far more often than Linux these days. What I still lack is getting my Bluetooth and GPRS Cellphone dial-up link running...and VMWare. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (FreeBSD) Comment: Grunbacher Altweizen Dunkel Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFNCuBMVyOPWVstbURAjWiAJ9CDp3WNGSWFx9niATeZqS6pMXi1ACgisLw 65BUC1BOi0RoHGY6XEEg0tA= =eQ/H -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
