#4.9 user apps are just as updated if you do a #cvsup. Not to mention the version numbers are close #anyway with the latest kde, gnome, and other apps.
Hey how long does it take to do a cvsup on a dial-up connection?
Hey?
Look I love fiddling with free oss systems but the one thing that shits me the most is that to get the latest this and the latest that. I have to download it and you can only take advantage of this with the the use of a broadband connection. Otherwise you have to grow a beard for the latest updates to download on a pissy 56k modem.
Just thought i'd throw in my cynical whinge.
Hey Freebsd works really well on a shitty dial-up connection when browsing the internet using opera. Faster than Windows XP and my Knoppix 3.# install hmmm.

Hold on!
Keep the pkg_add portupgrade system (that obviously works) for Freebsd. "I'm not a 10 years of experienced network admin but I class myself as a beginner I like what it does it is easier than say the RPM package manager. With that being said. I'd rather prefer on a linux system the Debpackage manager over RPM's I can't articulate why but I find there is far more p@$% farting arounding with rpms than deb packages and thats talking from a beginners point of view.
I've only ever practiced configuring these free oss for Desktop use only.
With Freebsd 4.8 "in the spare time that I have"I'm still trying to work how to get the aps-filter to work with my cannon bjc-2000 everything else is was easy as 1-2-3. Opera for Web Browsing Email etc Openoffice or Abi-word for well if I could get that Printer to go.....
I'd like to see a freebsd version os similiar to knoppix.
