Hi all,
This is not meant to critique the FreeBSD system as whole or the ports tree, it is just a curiosity. When I was a younger and green admin I was told that having a compiler installed on a production or perimeter machine is a bad thing. Now, the ports mechanism assumes you are able to install software compiling it, so isn't this possibly a risk?
Just curious...
