For those who have used the following:

dpkg/apt-get/etc..., FreeBSD ports system, 
rpm and friends, how do they compare?

A couple of specific questions would be:

1. dpkg looks mighty similar to rpm in terms
of functionality, is one clearly superior to 
another or is it more of just reinventing the 
wheel?

2. apt-get sounds similar to FreeBSD's ports
system. How does it compare in terms of ease
of use and features (for getting both 
precompiled and source packages)?
