Yes, it's all coming back to now from my SuSE/OpenSUSE days.

It's one of the reasons we like FreeBSD. The base OS is just a(n empty) 
shell, really. The Ports is where all the magic is, and they generally 
are OS-version independent, as well as having the current, past and 
bleeding edge versions.

Here's an example for those who aren't familiar with FreeBSD:

[root at ns-01-jnb /home/tinka]# ls /usr/ports/dns/bind
bind-tools/  bind9-devel/ bind911/     bind912/     bind913/ 
bind916/     bind918/     bindgraph/
[root at ns-01-jnb /home/tinka]#

Mark.
