FreeBSD has made leaps and bounds with this. You can use `freebsd-update` to update the OS itself from binaries instead of having to build world. https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/updating-upgrading-freebsdupdate.html https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/updating-upgra... You can use also `pkg` to install/upgrade software packages like `apt-get` on Debian derived distros. https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/pkgng-intro.html https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/pkgng-intro.html
