AFAIK, freebsd is still distributed with the older amd which is probably a variant of the one from 4.4bsd and upl102. Other groups such as NetBSD and Debian found out about am-utils and have included it in their official distributions. I was hoping that the FreeBSD folks would do the same. If someone on amd-dev is involved w/ the FreeBSD project, you may want to inform someone that am-utils has MANY features useful for FreeBSD (and it works on both 2.x and 3.x).
