Don't expect eye candy, it is an OS to get work done. m Guys (and gals) As great as the *BSD's are - why are we not thinking ahead of the curve? Outside of the box? What do I mean? Well - why not develope our OS's to run on an arch. that isn't out yet - MAKE that new arch. just like Gates did so many years ago. He defined the x86 market - why can't we do the same?

So far there's no evidence that any distfiles were compromised. For files in the ports collection, they would have been caught by the md5 checksum. I wouldn't be so sure, the guy was harvesting passwords. Although I don't know the details of the commit procedure he would surely be able to fiddle with any commits which are, by definition, going to have different checksums. but I'm guessing.
