A few months ago I burnt a NetBSD 1.5.2 cd and installed it (mainly because I wanted yasr to support it) and was struck by the small number of packages it installed. Programs that I took for granted under Linux were not there. There was no lynx, no perl, no wget, the shell it installed was a simple Bourne shell that did not support tab completion, etc. Bash and all of the other packages I mentioned can be installed, mind you, and the BSDs have what I consider to be a nice system for installing packages, but their base distribution is much smaller than what I would expect under Linux. -- Michael Gorse / AIM:linvortex / http://mgorse.home.dhs.org -- _______________________________________________ Blinux-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
