actually a FreeBSD question

[Savage-Geek]

will my RPMs form redhat work with BSD? or do i need to DL new packages??.. from where? (i looked on the ftp where i got BSD, and didnt find a package iso)

I'm not a BSD expert but I don't believe that BSD has a packaging system. You will probably have to get the tarball and compile it yo self. :D

Actually. In my opinion, FreeBSD has the best package system out there. The ports collection is simple to use and it does a wanderful job.

You just cd /usr/ports/programyouwanttoinstall
then type `make install`
and let it do the rest.

It also has pkg_add if you want to go that route.

yea... but i cant find an iso of all the ports... just the individual... :(
