It is a great exercised but it quickly wears off. Sometimes, if you do "archie -s ", you may get lucky and find the binaries. There are OS groups for the purpose of enhancing the OS somehow we have to form a similar group for applications and who knows developing some wonderful applications. Yes, I am aware of FreeBSD and their CDROM distribution and have not had a chance to check it out yet. An OS effort combined with a solid applications group can create an awesome *BSD system. It would be fantastic if we can start taking the lead in the computing world.
