I would think Gnome 2.0.1 and KDE 3.0.3 would be used used over many ports/packages in the distro. OpenSSH/OpenSSL are security concerns not taken lightly by network people. Updated stable web browsers is a no brainer as well as good FTP client/server and networking software (ie. TCPDUMP, traceroute). I was just thinking of several FBSD releases that a few ports/packages were not upgraded after several stable releases. So it was just a concern if we took a little time and effort to scan through the ports/packages and just "mention" an outdated version to the right people. Hopefully, it'll get add before the official release of v4.7. -K P.S. Anyone for OpenGL 1.4? ;o) _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
