    Yo;
    Linux user here that just installed FreeBSD 5.3 on an old 566MHz Celeron
    system. With my relatively small *NIX experience (Windows/Mac user until not
    to long ago) I've been able to feel quite at home with FreeBSD. X configured
    itself all but perfectly (More than I can say for the various Linux distros
    I've tried... they don't like my monitor it seems), and I feel right at home
    on KDE. I installed FreeBSD on a testbed server here, and may soon be
    switching my Mandrake Linux 9.2 server to FreeBSD (Either that or Debian...
    depends on how well I can get things like XSP to work)

    Anyway, to buisness. It seems that I'm using an invalid mouse driver or
    something with X, because when I move the mouse it keeps jumping to the left
    side of the screen. Very annoying.
    While I'm at it... would there be a package management tool similar to
    ipkg/rpmi/apt-get/yum or whatever? I assume so.. but what is it called?
           Thanx,
               SigmaX
