FreeBSD-Apt
I have just seen the announcement for a FreeBSD-based port of "apt"
integrated with the FreeBSD packaging system.
This is especially nice to see because just yesterday i installed
FreeBSD-4.0 for the first time. No, i won't abandon Debian but wanted
to learn something new. And instead of choosing one of the RPM-based
Linux distributions i thought FreeBSD to be the most logical step
after having used Debian, HP-UX and NeXTSTEP so far. ;-)

fbsd-apt:Is based on Debian's APT , but has no orignal code. It has
many of Debian's apt features but is made for FreeBSD.
