Re: COOL: FreeBSD for the masses! by m0ns00n on Friday July 13, @09:04AM PC BSD is cool, but it has outdated apps, and a very outdated KDE, plus almost no apps available with it's installer feature. So you're back to using ports and hoping everything goes fine. If it gets a bit more up to date packages and a bit larger software repository, it's really a killer solution - much better than what I've seen from Linux the last few years. They are right to move away from package managers for user apps. Only the system should be managed anyhow, apps should be legoblocks to be added and removed on the fly.
