My own experiences have given me a definite bias toward using the ports system to compile stuff to be added to my system rather than going with the binary packages. I get the impression that many port maintainers who are fairly careful about keeping their port versions workable and patched only give a relative lick and promise to their packages.
Unfortunately, bugs in the handling of my SCSI disks prevent me from doing anything that is disk-intensive without crashing the system, so downloading the ports collection probably won't be possible.
Anthony, I understand your frustration. I think you should fix the SCSI problems before doing anything. The ports collection really works very well. Perhaps some experts here can help you with your SCSI. I am a FreeBSD novice ;-)
