Hello, I wrote a blog post about how to install Emacs on FreeBSD. It's a simple guide made for beginners.

Hi Zoltan.
Thank you for your post.
I found it while I was looking to verify how many dependencies emacs package has... After #pkg install emacs my system is installing 49 packages...

I liked the extra lines for complete un-installation.

Hello I wanted to give you feedback so you will be encouraged to write more how-to articles: you did a great job with your post. I especially enjoyed the extra details for beginners, such as the helpful Notes and the instruction on how to check if you had Ports Collection installed, and how you broke down what the commands did.
