I administrate several unix machines.  I like FreeBSD quite a bit, and
wish that Solaris or Linux had a ports collection.  They don't, and
frequently when I want to compile a new version of something I have a hard
time finding out where to FTP the source from.

Is there any chance that in the web version of the FreeBSD ports
collection at http://www.freebsd.org/ports/index.html, for each port, you
could list where the installer will FTP the source from?  A directory of
FTPable unix code would be handy.
