        For various reasons, I've been using MacPorts quite a bit 
lately. It is definitely a step down in usefulness from what I'm used 
to with apt-get etc (and I assume FreeBSD ports, though I've never 
been a FreeBSD user).
        While I am at it, given I've happily used Debian for years, 
are there good reasons why I should give FreeBSD a try?
        Cheers
