While NetBSD and FreeBSD share an ancestry (and still borrow from one another), at the admin level they are quite different. It's nearly as difficult a transition as learning Debian or Gentoo* weirdness. *Not really. /usr/ports and /usr/pkgsrc are both fairly like bolt-action rifles: simple and effective. portage is like SDI: it was really never going to work, but it scared the crap out of NPR and the Soviets. -- --
