this (constantly evolving) process is especially welcome!</para>
<para>In addition to the base distributions, FreeBSD offers a
ported software collection with thousands of commonly sought-after
programs. By mid-November 2000, there were over 4000 ports! The
list of ports ranges from http (WWW) servers, to games, languages,
editors, and almost everything in between. The entire ports
collection requires approximately 100MB of storage, all ports being
expressed as <quote>deltas</quote> to their original sources. This
makes it much easier for us to update ports, and greatly reduces
the disk space demands made by the older 1.0 ports collection. To
compile a port, you simply change to the directory of the program
you wish to install, type <command>make install</command>, and let
the system do the rest. The full original distribution for each
port you build is retrieved dynamically off the CDROM or a local FTP
site, so you need only enough disk space to build the ports you
want. Almost every port is also provided as a pre-compiled
<quote>package</quote>, which can be installed with a simple command
(pkg_add) by those who do not wish to compile their own ports from
source.</para>
