I like Portage because it is easy to use. I also like its logical |
| 16 |
command syntax. |

I guess I am in the process of evaluating the various flavours of BSD |
| 19 |
(DesktopBSD, PCBSD and GentooBSD) and the various methods of installing |
| 20 |
applications. |

Being a Gentoo user, I am naturally curious to see what advantages |
| 23 |
Portage might offer over the Ports system in the BSD world. |

Although DesktopBSD and PC-BSD both offer their own tools for installing |
| 26 |
software, I have found that it just as easy to use the traditional Ports |
| 27 |
system to install software :) |
