There are some nice things that portage does, and my experience with Gentoo is a few years out of date by now, but I remember one difference that made software management on FreeBSD much better than on Gentoo: If there was something broken with a FreeBSD port (a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. -- Chad Perrin [ original content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ]
