GNOME 2.5.0 Available For FreeBSD

Dan writes "FreeBSD's Joe Marcus Clarke announces that GNOME 2.5.0 desktop, the "Obviously you're not a golfer" release, is now available for FreeBSD. You can check out this release from the MarcusCom CVS repository. Be sure to get the latest copy of the "marcusmerge" script while you're there to help with the upgrade. Thanks to FreeBSD GNOME users, there is also a man page to go with this script. NOTE: this is a developers release, and bugs will exist. If you're not into bug-hunting, you should probably steer clear until 2.6.0 is released."

Well I switched to BSD from Linux and found a system that has better package management, boots up heaps faster and is easier to manage than any Linux distro.

The only thing that comes close to BSD's package system is Debian's apt-get, and its still not there.
