To me anything that uses "ports" is kind-of BSD by definition (or BSD wannabe) so why not use the real thing to begin with! Being able to install from binary and/or from fine-tuned source compile is priceless in my book. Which of course can be done with most Linux variants (and pretty elegantly if done correctly) it is never as elegant as a true ports system. Anyway, just my 0.02 here. I am no expert in software distribution systems by any means, but IMHO OS X and BSD seem a much better coupling than OS X and Linux. Also, PCSBD is pretty cool: http://blog.pcbsd.org/2015/05/pc-bsd-10-1-2-an-interview-with-kris-moore/ Best, Alejandro Imass
