    Has a lot to do with my attempt to use it and having to compile 70% of the software I needed to use. Given though it's been nearly 2 decades since then, I'm sure a lot has changed.
    In regards to why I included it here I thought it would be nice to have a list for as many as possible.

    Uh.. the ports system has been around for quite awhile. Back in the 2.x days, some things were a little hairy, but that's no longer the case.

    That's a waste of a web page.

    Perhaps it's time to give it another shot. Problem is finding enough time in the day ;). In any case it's all Unix at the end of the day.

    Most of the BSDs are easy to use, I mean @angstrom can use NetBSD..

    pkg_in, pkg, pkg_add, ports..

    Yes a lot has changed about installing, updating, and upgrading. It's been my desktop system for over 8 years now and it has gone from compiling a lot of it (not hard, but sometimes slowish), to having a package system as easy as Debian's You can now just "pkg install program" and update the same way - as easy as any Linux.

    Thanks for the open source community.

    Imagine that!

    Things can get a little more difficult if you want to compile all non-base packages (as opposed to simply installing binaries), but if @angstrom can do it, ... well, sometimes, there are compilation errors, so it's not always so straightforward!

    Ya I'm really curious what Chicago VPS will do. My guess is they'll go to openVZ 7 and kick the can forward. We'll see.
