It has current, ports and stable (except des, etc). The max number of connections is currently set to 10, and the daily sup updates begin at 3am local time (if a different time would be better, let me know). This machine is located in Sydney, with good connectivity to the NSW AARNet/TIS gateway. If the plans TIS (Telstra Internet Service) has for upgrading interstate connectivity go ahead (like 18Mbit/s Sydney-Melbourne), it shouldn't be too bad for interstate users before long too. Sample supfiles can be found at: ftp://sup.physics.usyd.edu.au/pub/FreeBSD/supfiles/ A typical entry is: src-base release=current host=sup.physics.usyd.edu.au hostbase=/home base=/usr prefix=/usr/src delete old use-rel-suffix I've also increased the amount of FreeBSD stuff from ftp.freebsd.org that is mirrored on ftp.physics.usyd.edu.au. (Those multiple sets of distfiles directories chew up a lot space.) David
