Dude! He's trying to install the most recent version: 1.0.4... While I would agree that FreeBSD is generally a better choice than any Linux variant, YMMV. You are right about outdated packages -- the Debian Freeradius package is v1.0.2... and comes without EAP-TLS and anything that requires it. -kb -- Kris Benson, CCP, I.S.P.
