I suspect that is because that by and large the ports system works ;-) - Having Played around with a couple of Linux distributions - my impression is that "ports" offers a much more manageable approach or maybe I am just used to ports ;-) The discussion about ports is really just a subset of the larger discussion about how to get a proper configuration management mechanism - and I am still waiting to see a real good generic answer to that debate - FreeBSD ports offers in min mind a very good candidate or starting point However that being said - there could be benefits to a structured approach to Configuration Identifiers - whether that would result in speed benefits overall - remains to be seen _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
