In fact, the pkgsrc system (which originated on NetBSD but is also the official package system on DragonflyBSD, and works also on various other Unixen and Unix-likes) is based on compiling everything from source. You can also install pre-built binaries, but then you're much less flexible in choosing the options that some packages have (for instance to include support for some plugins, or a gui, or whatnot). > Duncan - List replies preferred.
