I have been wondering...I remember way back when I installed (or tried to install) FreeBSD 2.2.2, it installed old versions of Perl and other stuff, when there was a brand new (stable, I think) version of Perl. I think it installed Perl 4.0 when there was a Perl 5.003 at the time. Does the installation process of newer version of FreeBSD do the same, or have they fixed it so that new software versions get installed? I know that Linux was always up to date on things like that, but then again Linux usually gets ported to pretty quick. Anyways....in case that FreeBSD is still slow on getting new software versions installed during installation...maybe it's time that FreeBSD speeds up things like this. But that's only in case they haven't done so already. Just my opinion and stuff, if it matters. :) Joey Bear Garcia =================================================== Joseph Garcia Downey, CA bear@pacificnet.net "Dont drink and drive, you might spill the beer." =================================================== To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
