Of course, I prefer installing from source, too.  Especially when it 
comes to things like Mailman.  The irony here is that for the NTP 
Public Services project, when I initially installed Mailman so that I 
could switch over from Majordomo (like, four or five years ago), I 
used the BSD port system.  So, when it came time to do the upgrade to 
2.1.9, I ended up using the BSD port system once again.

I've gotten to the point where I no longer talk to people about 
switching OSes.  I may talk about the superiority of using BSD 
filesystems with Soft Updates for mail-related applications, and if 
people are curious then I'll be able to talk about that in more depth.

But otherwise I've gotten to the point where I figure that most 
people aren't going to switch OSes just because I suggest it, and 
that my doing so just annoys them and doesn't have any positive 
impact.
