>Linux blurs the line between 3rd party software and system dependencies How does BSD avoid this? I guess package manager installed software does get lumped in, but is that really 3rd party software in a meaningful sense? I very much like how it's all in one place. User-installed software usually gets installed into /usr/local or /opt, which is separate from the system-managed trees.
