Hi..

I would like to know what is the diffencre between the 'MITS' source and the
standard source.. I'm on freeBSD 3.3 and there is a 3.2 binary package.. Can i
use it without problem?

Tanks you Mathieu

Hello Mathieu,

I think so. But I would suggest you to try compiling the source, at least give it a try; often the whole thing can be done in a half an hour or so. If you ran into problems, we have quite a lot people on the list who know about FreeBSD and can likely to help you. Just read first the FreeBSD notes from the manual.

Regards,
