>> What exactly is meant by "better"? What features does it lack? FKO> Jam integration? :) Oh, it's not as if it couldn't be integrated with Jam, it's just that most FreeBSD ports (as an example) revolve around make. Not nearly all of them, however, and the package system doesn't use make very extensively. However, any OpenBeOS system is likely to contain some version of make anyway (if only for 3rd party programs), so it doesn't really hurt. Philipp
