What mistake?

Why?  I run both ports and packages (the latter when I discovered that 
Ruby blew away my swap/tmp) with no problems.

I prefer to use ports because that way I get to specify the options that I 
want (as opposed to generic ones which may not apply to me), but I'll use 
the package when someone assumes that I have both terabytes and gigahertz 
to burn...
