<para>In addition to the base distributions, FreeBSD offers a

- 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
