(besides time) what does it mean to you? do you recommend it? best way to get started? what do I need to know about FreeBSD & Ports? I am looking at adopting a port or two and looking to gain more insight, maybe someone that can do projects page for ports? which holds a list of unmaintained ports?? -- Kimi
