There are some nice things that portage does, and my experience with Gentoo is a few years out of date by now, but I remember one difference that made software management on FreeBSD much better than on Gentoo: If there was something broken with a FreeBSD port (a relative rarity), it would fail to install, leaving me with the older version. If there was something wrong with a Gentoo port, I'd end up with a broken install. I suppose your mileage may vary. --=20 Chad Perrin [ original content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ] --oyUTqETQ0mS9luUI Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.14 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAk5yPw8ACgkQ9mn/Pj01uKUp/gCgk9DSjc29TaGsNY2DIct4MVjx 0mgAoL5ZgEg+FJJpmB5WMVlrN5WCAnb/ =7ZNT -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --oyUTqETQ0mS9luUI--
