The FreeSD ports, for example, by default do not build gfortran nor Java at this point and have never built Ada. And I doubt that many are building Ada, regardless of the platform they are using. gfortran weights in less than one megabyte, thus isn't of too much concern. Java with close to 10MB and Adad with some 4.5MB are kind of heavy, though. Keep in mind that depending on the part of the world many may still be using modem lines. Gerald
