While I'm sure that some ports will be willing to be in the "second tier" category, I suspect you'll still have thousands of ports with hundreds of thousands of users who will be personally insulted if refused to include their favorite port in the "important" category. I doubt you will find anyone who wants to volunteer for the role of , because that is certainly the only name which will be used to describe whoever chooses which ports are in the special category. How about implement a system where by ports register their usage to a central server. This will give us some very useful stats about port usage and after some time this is examind and all ports whos usage falls under a given measure ( to be decided again by stats ) said port is moved to a secondary port group. Eww, sounds like a good definition of spyware, I could go without people knowing exactly what I install and when. We could also use this info to prune ports not getting any use at all. Then when someone does need it, it wont be there, and will have to be re-ported. In addition to that a method of syncing ports indivitually might be an alternative way to go. That way instead of syncing the many thousands of ports to compile up the latest version of XXX you would only have to download the port you wanted and any dependencies. This is a neat idea that Marc brought up. Perhaps a dynamic ports tree is the answer. With an up to date INDEX, It probably wouldn't be hard to patch the ports system to download JUST the ports you need, and their dependencies. We would just have to decide on the method to do this. I suppose something like cvsup, or portsnap could be utilized to checkout single ports. But then again, after that, whats the point of even having sub directories for ports? Why not just have it download the framework, build the port, and delete everything.

I have mainly followed the installation instructions from http://www.csua.berkeley.edu/~ranga/notes/freebsd_cups.html It basically prints one line at a time, then pauses for a while, and makes some noises, and then repeats. The whole single test page took over 30 minutes to print. Does anyone have any insight/info that they can give me to solve this problem or point me in the right direction of solving it? I have Googled and done some searching and did not come up with anything. I checked the CUPS documentation and forums and did not see anything either. Anthony, I too have this issue. I tried with my HP 1100, 1300 and a 4050 on 3 differant PC/laptops. The thing is, one of them, like yours, was a generic install w/gnome and I tried bot apsfilter and CUPS. Yet, everyone I have spoken with has no idea of the issues I'm dealing with. So for now, and untill I pop on 5.4, I'm gonna leave my printing for Windows. Yes, I tried the install via the Handbook, read the docs for apfilter, and the closest I get to printing is via CUPS - and with the same issues (and worse then you). Mine happen to be the "GO" light flashes for 20 minutes befor anything spits out. *shrug* Perhaps the quality setting is locked on high resolution? This would probably make the printer print quite slow if its an inkjet.

Process is always four plates, except for the rare hexachrome offset, which is six plates. Spot colors require one plate per color. Two-color jobs are pretty economical, which is why you see so much two-color work. Yes, Process colors being 4 plates, but rendered properly, it could be less. But that graphic could easily be a spot color print job, Which I think by today's standards is acceptable. I don't know what you mean by this. The current "logo" as it is shown on freebsd.org, COULD be printed on 2 plates, as a 2 color job. those colors being black and red. (of course red isnt true red, it would be some pantone color) But being a web graphic that it is, you cant tell that by looking at it. And I believe you stated a logo should be free of "screens" You only need 1 plate to do a screen, so this is also irrelevent. Screens cause a problem when you reduce a logo to small sizes, as there are limits on the line frequency you can use for screens, and if the screen is too coarse for a tiny graphic, it will look really bad. So it's best to avoid screens altogether. Worse yet is having multiple screens on several plates, in which case you have to worry about registration issues, and the screens usually have to be much more coarse, which again causes problems for small sizes. This isnt an issue with todays modern digital 4 color presses such as the iGen3. It has no problem with registration if ran by a qualified operator. Now if you are a 80's or 90's printer using an old heidelburg 2 color press, sure.. registration is very difficult when dealing with small print and screens. Furthermore, anyone with experience in the modern printing world knows that getting high quality (and affordable) printed artwork on a small piece is very simple when using the right equipment. I've done several of these type of jobs on the iGen3 we have here at my office. Anyways, this is WAY off from the original post, So I end it with that.

No. A lot of hardware manufactures feel that they only need to support the 75% of the world that runs a proprietary OS.

Again, I format my system and, here I am, with Windows (mainly for games and a problematic usb scanner) and Linux. I need a more stable system. Many people talked me very good about FreeBSD. For me, until now , the biggest deception ! Please, I don't know the FreeBSD objectives, but if you would like that more and more people can use it, CHANGE this installer. Confuse , in one word ! Disappointing ! I tried standard, express, custom , all packages, minimum, all kind of ways... I can't understand a looped install. Almost 2 hours after, an error... My video card is recognized , but when you did post-install, not ! You tried many XFrre86 configs and not When something happens and finally you can start KDE or GNOME or another, DHCP don't run and so on.

Re: jdk14 port
Ok, I figured out what the problem was. It's really quite interesting. you see, I was building this via ssh to my server. My server has had network issues (due to the connection) all day, and my ssh sessions were lagging horribly. it would freeze for a long amount of time. I noticed the build always seemed to error at a different point. So I thought to myself, maybe the ssh freezing is causing a problem so i fired screen and ran: cd /usr/ports/java/jdk14 && script jdk14-out.log make package then i detached from the screen, and ran xtail jdk14-out.log to keep an eye on it. and sure enough, it built with no problems whatsoever. I have NEVER seen anything like this, but I guess it makes sense.
