Hey, for my tech writing class, I had to describe a mechanical
process.  So I wrote about the Ports Collection :)

I generalized it as much as possible, I thought about sending it to Linux
Journal or somewhere else telling Linux-geeeks how much better FreeBSD is.
Any feedback on where I should send it or on the article itself would be
appreciated.  Unfortunetly, I only have a Postscript rendition available
right now.  You can download it from

Let me know what you think.  Thank you and Enjoy!

Jamie
