Brilliant and very useful for FreeBSD, IMHO

Recently, I've been using XFree86 -configure from the command line
rather than use the GUI configurator. Seems to do better job at
detecting hardware than the GUI one, which more often than not, seems
to crash on startup. Maybe because I've been working with laptops and
boxes with cheap display cards...

The automatic setting of the package mirror would be a _really_ nice
feature.
