Quoting Chris <[email protected]>:
Outstanding, thank you. Curious though, how is Gnome looking these
days (meaning, is it v3 or 2.x).
I have read of the craziness of 3 and the introduction of Unity
(albeit that is ubuntu).
If 3 is used (or when) I assume it would be closer to what I
currently have under Sid (and that would be ok) or even 2.x
As far as I can see, it's 2.xx, or to be more precise:
http://www.freshports.org/x11/gnome2/
By the way: freshports is a good way to check beforehand what ports
are available and in which versions ;)
Nonetheless, thanks for the info. I'll have time tomorrow to read up
a bit and perhaps next time I post, it'll be under 9
Good luck :)

I have been using Debian for a few years now (previous BSD user) and I'm
considering moving back.
Admittedly, I have gotten used to the simplicity of using apt-get to
update the system.
What will pull me back is if there is an equivalent to use. I do not
intend on custom kernels, and I don't intend on using ports (it was the
many hours spent keeping the ports tree current along with installed ports).
If someone would suggest the material to read and perhaps a synopsis of
the process, I would be happy to do the leg work.
freebsd-update(1) and pkgng should get you to relative feature parity w/
Debian. However pkgng just entered beta, and likely won't make it into
the base system anytime soon. That being said, beta testers are wanted and
it's largely functional.
/usr/ports/UPDATING is still the standard method along with a ports
managment tool of your choice eg portmaster(1).
