There are no conflicts between them, you may even install all of them during the initial setup or afterwards. I will start preparing a server ISO (CD sized) soon. I also welcome all ideas on what to include/exclude in later versions of this DVD. It has been suggested to include openoffice packages as abiword / gnumeric don't cut it for many people. This will increase the size of the download, although hopefully not dramatically as most dependencies are probably already included.

Re: Announcing: FreeBSD Custom XFCE ISO (take II)
First I want to say thank you. This is very welcome for my older slow laptop. I'll second the thanks. Believe it or not I've got a great laptop still up and running: a PIII running an earlier version of SuSE Linux (PIII, 128M RAM, 555Mhz processor). When I bought it in 2000 it was the state of the art. Now I find the internet forums choked with people complaining about their old Pentium Ms and IVs and similar. Most people have no idea a 9 year old laptop can do everything you want it to do. I'll give the XFCE ISO a spin, since modern KDE or Gnome set ups tend to sink it.

Changes from the previous version == - - Wbar was removed. The package would install without problems but did not run. Please install this from ports. - - Some other small apps were introduced. See below. - - Base system was updated to 7.2-RELEASE-p1 - - Ports that use python now use python26. This was not done intentionally, the tinderbox built them that way. It delayed me however as the INDEX file (required in the release process) was still pointing to python25 dependencies and was causing errors.
