Hello,
New to freeBSD : I just installed a FreeNAS server. It's very interesting : the ZFS and the jail concept are both stunning.
While going further, and installing some applications on the system, in tutorials, sometime to install package, "pkg" command is used, and some other times, the "portsnap" command plus "make install" are used.
So, I wonder what is the difference between portsnap and pkg : are they 2 different methods to do the same thing, or applications are either in the pkg system or in the portsnamp system.
Thanks.
