FreeBSD Ports Collection Hits 9000

bsd_daemon.gif

Saw the original post over at BSDForums.Org. It appears that the french/med port gets the honor of being the 9000th port in FreeBSD.

The Ports Collection for those not aware is a system included in FreeBSD that allows the automated process of downloading, unpacking, patching, compiling and installing software.

For example if you wanted to install the apache web server all you have to do is type the following at a command prompt:
# cd /usr/ports/www/apache13 && make install && make clean

The ports system would download all needed files, compile them and then install the executable program. All without you the user doing anything. Pretty neat isn't it! Here is the original email post:

I believe this port has the honour of being the 9000'th in the
collection. Congratulations to everyone who has helped to make the
Ports Collection such a success over the past 9 years!
