Ha! take a look at ports: /ust/ports/ if you installed them.. www.freebsd.org/ports/ You can use either ports (source-code based, you compile them locally) or packages (binary based, faster bethod but not that much configurable) If you have experience with Gentoo, ports is what they copied when they implemented emerge.
