This Month In FreeBSD History

When I had first started using FreeBSD one of the first things I would do on a new system is install top from the ports collection. It is hard to imagine this now, but back then it wasn’t part of the base system.

But all of that changed in March 1997, nine years ago this month, when top was imported into the base system. It seems like a small thing, but I was thrilled when that happened. One less thing to add on after an install.

For better or for worse I think it takes more than that to impress me now.
