Hi list

This may be a basic question, but a question non the less.

I have been using Debian for some years and have gotten tired by system fre=
ezes, having a slow system, and having a package system that requires that =
I install every skin of KDE to get KDE up and running.

I hope FreeBSD will be better! :-)

What I want to know is the following: Do I get the option of fetching sourc=
es and running through a guided compilation; or do I get binaries (like Deb=
ian) only?

Thanks in advanced.=20
