(I like bloat in ports but not in src.) Look -- the 1 CD distribution shouldn't be considered a plus. Look at InfoMagic's 4 cd set -- selling like hotcakes. How about 1 CD -- install and sources 1 CD Ports and Applications and Commercial Demos. When FreeBSD takes off like Linux we'll have the 4 CD boxed set too! Take a look at the InfoMagic support phone number arrangement and install booklet. I'm a subscriber to their service for Linux and it's EXCELLENT. Folks -- comparison shop the competition!
