I use Emacs, XMMS, etc. Other people will use other things because you have so much variety. If you'd like to know more about what's available in the ports tree and what it's good for I'd suggest you go to www.onlamp.com/bsd and read Dru Lavigne's column "FreeBSD Basics". She does a great job getting you more information and detail about FreeBSD. hth, Maurice -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org] On Behalf Of Cortland Naegelin Sent: Tuesday, April 29, 2003 11:10 PM To: Freebsd for newbies Subject: Ports Could people give me an idea at what are their favorite ports are and why. there are of what maybe 3000.
