     Y'all,
     
     I've been using Linux for some time now, and have just recently 
     install WGS Linux Pro 4.0, which is based on RedHat 3.0.3.  I'm very 
     impressed with the RedHat Package Management System.  FreeBSD appears 
     to support LBA mode hard drives now, which was a hinderence for me in 
     the past.  This brings me to two questions:
     
     1. Does FreeBSD, v2.1.5 or v2.2-SNAPSHOT, support LBA mode?
     
     2. Do you have plans on implementing some kind of package management 
     system, such as RedHat, Debian, or a proprietary system?
