No. FreeBSD is very good in building from source. The ports system makes sure it is. Building on solaris often means removing of linuxism in Makefiles or software that *only* compiles with GCC (stupid). Plus you need an up2date building environment like a recent version of Nevada (the developers edition from februari is very good). If you want bleeding edge packages you do something like "pkgadd -i package" and everything (including all depts) are installed. This is using Blastwave. It takes some extra diskspace but with modern prices, who cares.. -- Dick Hoogendijk -- PGP/GnuPG key: F86289CE ++ http://nagual.nl/ | Solaris 10 11/06 ++ _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
