First of all, system staff, without /usr/local and /usr/X11R6
are much less and are downloadable, 
at least when night calls were unlimited.
I installed FreeBSD thru dial up in 3-4 hours.

Danm Bezeq, my poor family budjet, why
the hell did they changed charging policies :{)

Secondly, let me start my FreeBSD trip here :{)
Once I installed /usr/src, and now I just need 
to update deltas with sophisticated system called
CVSup, which is like modern networked RCS,
so updates take 5 min from my daily cron job.
It is just like, you do not have to download the
whole linux kernel to move from 2.0.29 to
2.0.30, you just need tiny patch, contributed
by FreeBSD core member John Dyson :{)

Difference between last and current major releases
in FreeBSD source about 15M which is also downloadable.
