  3. Yes, it's important to stay with the ports... by pschmied · · Score: 1 · on FreeBSD 4.2 Is Out
    Unless you are interested installing some other parts by hand. You're gtk problem is very likely remedied by getting the latest port and: "make install"

    I have found very few times when there has not been a port for the software I'm looking for. After software is released, a port usually comes a couple days after. Keep czeching Fresh Ports for new ones!

  4. Re:BSD does it again by qbasicprogrammer · · Score: 1 · on File Packaging Formats - What To Do?

    Linux is able to install BSD ports packages if they are downloaded from Freshports and the specific application is compatible with Linux. Packages themself contain a Makefile to fetch the tarball, verify the checksum, extract, and install. Ports can also be installed from /stand/sysinstall. Very convenient.

  5. ...with Freshports by questionlp · · Score: 2 · on TUCOWS BSD Launched

    It's nice to see that BSD is getting more attention by the bigger companies. It's also nice to have sites that track software and provides ways to easily download them.

    Most of the stuff found at bsd.tucows.com is also available at Freshports.org and in the BSD ports collection.
