@malin @justine Malin, there are over 34K packages in the FreeBSD Quarterly repository, and 35K packages in Latest.

Ports collection is still more extensive, plus very very simple to build different versions of apps in an isolated environment far easier and effectively than attempting to do the same on linux distributions.

Before spreading misinformation about FreeBSD please review the facts and check out the numbers for the mainline linux distros... really, please look for first hand evidence.

@winterschon @justine

I have no idea what you think is 'simple'.

'Spread misinformation'?
It's just a computer - chill.

@winterschon @malin @justine by the way, FreeBSD has more programs, just less packages.

Unlike others, we don't do -dev, -doc, so Debian/Ubuntu actually has 1/3rd of what it advertises.
