I'm curious if there's any difference between the 'quality' of the
install of a port package or using the pkg_add command?

I've noticed a couple of times that building a program from the ports
has crashed my machine, whereas pkg_add seems to go smoothly.

I've read the paragraph in the handbook and it really doesn't satisfy my
curiosity, what do you guys think?

thanks
dale
