* >I suspect that this person is actually asking "Why is top not part of the * >standard distribution?". * * Exactly. For one thing, it is fairly frequently upgraded and works with only minor changes for FreeBSD. It is much easier to maintain a port of a piece of software in that case than having it in our main source tree. But it really doesn't matter, building a port is about as easy as life can get, and you can even install a package. These stuff are all going to be on the CDROM anyway, so there isn't much reason to further bloat our main source tree. Satoshi
