What does Yahoo! have to do with the > issue? The Ports Collection is part of FreeBSD. No, you're confused, because you haven't read _carefully_ the whole! It was about those Linux apps that can be compiled also under FreeBSD [so, 99% of them], those apps whose authors does NOT e-mail you at FreeBSD to tell you about their existance! For instance, win32 apps [freeware/shareware] can easily be found at sites like shareware.com, freewaresite.com, etc. etc. Linux apps cam be found also at linuxapps.com and, of course, serching with any search engine [y compris Yahoo] and finding, in various pages, that someone did something "for Linux". Now, for Linux there is at least one page [that is linuxapps.com] which is trying to list Linux apps w. sources, apps that are NOT included in any Linux distribution!!! So, not into FreeBSD/ports neither, presumedly! Capito? To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
