This is one of the main reasons users are having a serious look at Linux distros like Fedora or some Debian-ish ones. I have used (and still do) both flavors of the above and I have to tell y, updating the installed apps is as easy as apt-get update ot yum update/upgrade. I used to love spending my Friday nights updating my FreeBSD ports - then, as you are finding out - it's just getting tedious. I'm unsure if there is the makings of a whole new way to update/upgrade the ports, but it's something that should be considered. Please - I know what some of you out there will say, "Then why don't you do it" - I'm not criticizing, simply commenting on my experiences. -- Best regards, Chris Registerd Linux user number 448639 _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
