A short bit of research later - it is Gentoo. I thought it was, but I
was also thinking ports from FreeBSD. I wanted to be sure.

The only benefit I can see portage having is that you get to compile it
yourself. This is also the first step of why it is inferior. All the
other reasons why it is inferior stem from that.

I am happy to listen to *other* reasons why it is better. FLAGS or other
similar reasons come back to compling it yourself, and have already been
covered.


How does debian's apt-build differ from portage?  I know this is a
broad question, but they seem to do the same thing from where I sit.
