ftp.freebsd.org!

FreeBSD has over 1500 ports of software available through the ports
collection ranging from web servers and browsers to bank account balancing
programs (similar to Quicken).  

You can find the ports (or the packages if you prefer not to compile your
own) at :

	ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports

or in /usr/ports if you have installed the ports tree.  

Packages can be found at:

	ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/packages

See the handbook in /usr/share/doc/handbook or at www.freebsd.org to get
an idea how to use and install ports or packages.

The top of my head shines through my haircut
Even when I brush, shape and style
The top of my head smiles at the young man
Telling me I must have been alive awhile.
