Re: FreeBSD has plenty of hardcore fans

Packages for release/architecture have been great for a good few years. I used to get confused because the installer would offer only the stuff from the release and it took a while for BSD to settle on a package management system but pkg has been solid.

But, of course, just dropping into the relevant ports directory and running make && make install will still always work.
