It's gotten much easier to both upgrade and to install software. Example:
To apply security patches:
freebsd-update fetch
freebsd-update install
To upgrade to a new version of the operating system:
freebsd-update -r 11.0-RELEASE upgrade
To install software:
pkg install chromium
You can still use the ports system if you want to, but pkg is so much easier.
- pppp 10y agoFYI, we're a long time Linux shop (mostly Ubuntu server) and are slowing moving away from it because I don't like the direction it is going (systemd, etc). I've got more than half of our systems on FreeBSD/OpenBSD now.
