I am very new to FreeBSD with several years of Linux experience. After installed FreeSDB for the first time, I wanted to install some packages. For example, samba. I found that pkg_add -r samba fails. I need to know specifically the samba version to install it. To install, I needed do this: pkg_add -r samba3 This is difficult. Do I need to look up every package in advance on your website to understand what version I need to install? Isn't there a way to specify "Install the latest version of some package that is appropriate to the version of my installed FreeBSD"? Thanks, Joe
