The FreeBSD Ports Collection
Satoshi Asami, The FreeBSD Project
Abstract
FreeBSD is an open source operating system based on
4.4BSD-Lite2, a version of UNIX from the University
of California at Berkeley. It is maintained by a group
of volunteers from around the world. In addition to providing
a complete operating system, the FreeBSD project
supports an extensive collection of sanctioned third-party
software called the Ports Collection, many of which were
contributed by the users. In addition to the source form,
most of the ports are provided as binary packages too.
