FreeBSD uses the ports system to provide software like KDE. This allows y=
ou to=20
install software from binary packages and also to automatically install i=
t=20
from source. The latest version of the "ports tree" is independant of the=
=20
latest version of FreeBSD, so you can update KDE without updating your wh=
ole=20
system. The latest version of the ports tree contains KDE 3.0.3. See the=20
FreeBSD handbook for more info on ports
