The links created by using port tags point to the port's page on freshports.org. While I find freshports.org to be a useful site, I would prefer the link to go to the port's page on freebsd.org. For example, multimedia/quvi would instead point to http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=quvi&stype=name. The main reason for my preference is the banner ads on freshports.org. Again, I have no problem with the ads, but it seems to contradict the commercialization-free nature of FreeBSD when a page under freebsd.org links to a page with banner ads. How many of us are going to click on ads for "avs video converters" anyway?
 
There's much more end-user information on the freshports.org page (including installation commands that may serve inexperienced port/package installers well).
 
Ok, thanks for responding. I'll have to take a closer look at freshports.
