When you start using all the Linux ports, it must create some mention pollution as their methodologies differ from FreeBSD. Is that true?

- lmm 7y agoA few things put their files in the "wrong" place, or have their documentation arranged differently, sure. But for an application program that's not too much of a problem - as long as your OS is working and your system is generally functional, you can figure out what's wrong with a particular application at leisure. The time when you really need high-quality help fast (and ideally offline) is when your system won't boot or your networking is broken or your DE won't come up, and that stuff is all in the FreeBSD core system.
- asveikau 7y agoDesktop environments (and indeed X) are in the ports tree on FreeBSD. Unlike say OpenBSD which has X11 in the tar sets. Generally agree with your comment though.
