[NMLUG] bsd ports



Tim -

The ports system downloads and compiles, where apt-get (on a deb box)
downloads a binary package.

Its more like using apt-get source to get the src and building it locally.

Tim Emerick spoke forth with the blessed manuscript:
> I was reading an article on linuxfoo.org(1) regarding how to use BSD Ports. 
> It sounded good and piqued my interest in bsd again but I need a frame of
> reference.  I'm quite comfortable with Debian's apt-get.  Is the bsd ports
> similar in nature to apt-get?
> 
> Thanks
