That wasn't harsh, and he was not out of line at all. This is, after all,
tclug not a freebsd user group. Besides you're more likely to get a
straight freebsd answer from someone who uses it.

How many people on this list use cvsup on linux?

Are there any linux distros that support cvsup?

Is cvsup installed by default on any distro as a means to support upgrades?

It's a freebsd question. You're more likely to get a straigh answer to a
freebsd question on a freebsd list.
