I do have one question though and I apologize if people always ask this: At the end of the install I asked whether I want to run sshd and ntpd by default - very nice BUT why am I not given the option to turn off Sendmail at this point? I NEVER use sendmail and for an OS that prides itself on being as minimal as possible I would have thought giving you the option to not run sendmail would also be there right from the start.
Any system needs a MTA running, at least to manage email from nightly/weekly/monthly check. So, default MUST be "mta running" (you can choose to stop it). Why sendmail? Why not? p.s. i usually use another MTA -- Cris, member of G.U.F.I Italian FreeBSD User Group http://www.gufi.org/
