Before you bash an OS's way of keeping software up-to-date, you should really learn more about the whole process. In my 8 years of using FreeBSD, I have encountered ONE broken port. Maybe you didn't CVSUP correct, I don't know, but everything works as it should and great care is taken to make sure that it is. BTW, have you ever heard of making something with NO_X11?! RPM is shat compared to CVS. What do you find so hard about going into a directory and typing "make install"?
