OK now, don't get me wrong, this is not an announcement that I'll be forking off MacPorts to begin a fully supported Linux variant! :)<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Also, why no use Gentoo or other existing ports-based Linux variants ? </div><div><br></div><div>To me anything that uses "ports" is kind-of BSD by definition (or BSD wannabe) so why not use the real thing to begin with! Being able to install from binary and/or from fine-tuned source compile is priceless in my book. Which of course can be done with most Linux variants (and pretty elegantly if done correctly) it is never as elegant as a true ports system.</div><div><br></div><div>Anyway, just my 0.02 here.

Also, PCSBD is pretty cool: <a href="http://blog.pcbsd.org/2015/05/pc-bsd-10-1-2-an-interview-with-kris-moore/">http://blog.pcbsd.org/2015/05/pc-bsd-10-1-2-an-interview-with-kris-moore/</a></div><div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div>Alejandro Imass</div><div><br></div></div></div></div>
