Well, gents [*],
Somehow my installed world got partially deleted and to save myself
further grief, I rebuilt everything. *Then* rebuilt mutt. portmaster
gets stuck on the java stuff because we still hasta fetch it ourselves.
I thought Sun was going to fix that. In any case, my diablo-jdk16
timezone file is MIA, so I'm wedged as far as further upgrading goes.
Been thinking over what someone said recently about restricting or
dropping further ports. BSD is the best opensource system around. But
keeping everything current is painful. Does anybody know if PCBSD is as
pushbutton as, say, Ubuntu is? I'll always use FreeBSD on my DNS,
apache22, and mail server side. Zero crashes in 7 years. But if I want
to play music or watch a DVD--or do serious web video stuff--I use
Ubuntu.
I'd like to say kilowatts by having one "tao" that can handle everything
from hacking code to playing a movie.
There is the talent here to fix the fixable ... at the same time, we've
all got real lives, jobs, school, families, etc. And a limited
volunteer
base. ...That's my dime's worth.

[*] to spare raging replies, no, i am not a sexist/chauvinist. Only
30 years ago about a third of my computer class was female. Not to
mention some drop-dead blondes in my ckt theory class... .
I mean, some serious female EE talent there! :-) ... Now?? dunno.
