There are still evils that exist in their distributions, don't get me wrong, but this is primarily because of the stuff they're packaging, e.g. no matter now hard you work to repackage the OSF/Open Group's Motif distributions, they always smell a bit afterwards. :-) Still, for the least smelly OSF bits available, they're the only game in town. http://www.xig.com -- - Jordan Hubbard FreeBSD core team / Walnut Creek CDROM.
