What you 'mis'quote further down was not my writing. http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2012-January/237779.html My reply to djackson was and more, see link above I understand your motivations. On my 1,6GHz celeron it takes a lot of time to compile the ~600 ports I use, especially chromium for instance and when I forget to give an option to not bother me with questions it sits there waiting for me to enter y or n. Ports/ packages are not `a basic part` of the FreeBSD OS. I also don't think it is simple and straight forward to satisfy all different user requirements and options in a package system. Ubuntu for my taste has had flukes in many ways many times in the past and still has (often enough the developers desktop users complain). It works good with complete upgrades at times, on the other hand it still leaves me sometimes with an unusable freezing OS on the desktop, and before every upgrade it has becomes mandatory to me to first try it with an USB boot. This is something I cannot have on server systems being used 24x7. > >> / On Mon, Jan 30, 2012 at 3:58 PM, Bas Smeelen<b.smeelen at ose.nl<http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions>> wrote: > />/ > />/> On Mon, 30 Jan 2012 12:52:07 -0500 > />/> David Jackson<djackson452 at gmail.com<http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions>> wrote: > />/> > />/> > I have tried endlessly to no avail to upgrade binary the packages > />/> > on Freebsd to the latest version.
