There is a new set of packages uploaded to gobsd.com. Some of the
larger packages are now complete which there have been some demand for
in past emails. So things like
pkg_add -r kde # this will install the full version of KDE-3
pkg_add -r gnome2
now will work just fine.

A listing of the packages that pkg_add -r uses can be found at
http://gobsd.com/packages/Latest/
and a complete listing of every package available for download can be
viewed at http://gobsd.com/packages/All/
How about moving to bzip2 compression?
I can take a look into it for the next build set, though more likely
the one after the next set of packages as I'm working on a few other
cool things with different method for packages all together.
Any details? Btw, you don't have to build a new set of packages when 
switching compression algorithms, just recompressing them is sufficient.
