Or NTP. Or... used to include DNS. Your beautiful base system ready for most Internet-related tasks does not have a: - GUI - browser - media player - email client - IRC client - office suite I'm wondering what you consider "most" internet tasks. If I want a basic internet desktop, I need to install a couple hundred ports to achieve that. If I want a server that follows best practices, I have to install openssl from ports, which means I *can't* use the in-base sendmail even if I wanted to.Received on Tue Feb 25 2014 - 16:34:15 UTC
