User Reviews

  • I love this tool. I first encountered it, I think, in DragonFly BSD, and really enjoyed using it. Later I encountered it again with netBSD, and then also found out that it could actually work on a wide variety of *n?x platforms. I love cross-platformedness, and I love smart installers, and this is both. Highly recommended.
