> Dear Mr. Questions:  I have just spent about one-half hour "browsing"

> Perhaps the most dismaying was the page:
> http://www.freebsd.org/applications.html
> which contains a link self-described as "packages collection" which
> takes you to the OS distribution page, unrelated to packages.
> Entering "package" or "packages" into the (sic) search engine each
> yield a null result.  It is a crying shame that one of the most unique
> and fruitful features of my favorite operating system should be so
> obfuscated.

most people install from the ports collection if they have decent access and 
they are listed on the website.
