However, the ride has not been as smooth =20 as I would have liked. To make this story short, here is my late =20 Christmas wish-list regarding the lack-of documentation on the =20 installation of packages on FreeBSD. Ah yeah, and in the process, I am =20 hoping to get help, pointers, or some type of recognition for =20 converting to the wonderful world of BSD! Please note, part of the =20 wish list comes with a bit of a Gentoo Linux bias having make.conf, =20 package.use, package.keywords, along with the USE=3D"" flags so readily =20 available. Wish-list 1.) Documentation about customization optimization-flags/configure =20 options (including which system files/location/make.conf may need to =20 be edited???? when building packages from ports (we did discover =20 portconf, but is this it?) 2.) We are also big into VoIP and just realized that FreeBSD 7.0 will =20 not build asterisk-addons on our home/production servers. So after =20 losing a ton of sleep we are now having to revert back to FreeBSD 6.2. =20 In short, can anyone fill us in to which FreeBSD distribution is =20 "known" to work splendid with the asterisk family? Thank you for your time, FreeBSD rocks! David A. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program.
