ports

Hello!
 
 
 I am a FreeBSD user from 6 months now. Getting from linux
to FreeBSD it was easy 
 but I still use linux for certain aplications.
 
 Probably on the desktop side of the operating system i do
miss a few applications from linux such as: kphonetools,
xfsamba, the installation of kde-meta applications one by
one rather than a whole block, the flash from macromedia
etc.
 
 Well to be honest I would like FreeBSD to have the same
number of ports as Gentoo Linux on the desktop side of the
operating system. There are so many people out there who
switch distros because they want something more stable and
with as many as possible applications.
 According to my research people stick to a distro because
of the following reasons:
    
   Stability   
   Securitty   
   Variety of different programs to run   
   Newer and updated software regularly. 
 Probably having it's own port rather than a linux port for
the same software such as bsd firefox and linux firefox.
 
 I hope this helps on the spread of the distro.
 
 Regards
 John
