Hey there,

I was thinking about that a very long Time, because i think about changing from linux to BSD or at least switching from arch to a distro that provides some kind of a ports-tree like crux linux does, or gentoo if you want. So, whenever i read about this topic, i cannot find out *in detail* what this is. Is it some kind of Directory, that provides sources and stuff or is it completely different from my idea?
I apologize if this maybe Sounds a Little noobish, but i thought, this'd by the right Place to ask.
