Nothing in Gentoo (or FreeBSD or any other variant of Unix for that

functionality--or use

However, after reading you post, I am thinking that the packages are
only available for the snapshots labelled RELEASE. Am I right? All

My opinion of FreeBSD is do not try to configure X-11 desktops and
apps with it. Its just too much effort. I have the same

I find it interesting that a former Slackware user would be
complaining about compiling stuff, but you probably used

Hi,
I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to BSD but I thought I'd install it on
my notebook so that I can do my Zope + PostgreSQL development on it: BeOS
doesn't yet have have select() and windows 2k + cygwin isn't so much fun

I've got FreeBSD 4.6, 4.7 and 5.0 nad have problems with
