As the others stated, FreeBSD is quite different in that there is a distinction between installing/updating 3rd party software (called ports), or the base operating system (kernel and system). There are multiple ways to update the base system and kernel as well as the ports. You can choose to do binary installs or build from source. I prefer building from source when installing ports or updating the kernel/system since I like to control everything. One great thing about FreeBSD is that there are multiple ways to do things so find what you feel best suits your needs and use it. The handbook is the best place to start: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ I recommend you look at the following sections: Installing and managing ports: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports.html Updating ports and the operating system (kernel/system): http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/updating-upgrading.html -- Jacques Manukyan Panos wrote: > Hello I'm new to Freebsd and I would like to know if there is anything > like apt-get for upgrating everything in my Freebsd.
