FreeBSD land seem a lot more package centric after the introduction of pkgng (now just pkg) a few years ago. It's, in my experience, fast, simple and reliable.

FreeBSD land seem a lot more package centric after the introduction of pkgng (now just pkg) a few years ago. It's, in my experience, fast, simple and reliable. Not half-baked like the old package system. Even among those why build themselves it seem fairly commom to use poudriere (a jailed package builder system) and then just install packages from there.
