.... although it's optional OS to try, freebsd isnt 
a distro of Linux.  personally, i think gentoo
is easier to get up and running than *bsd; 'emerge' 
is just as easy as 'ports'.  let's check to see if 
the 'system' or 'world' need updating:

bash-2.05b# emerge --pretend --update system

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating system dependencies ...done!

bash-2.05b# emerge --pretend --update world

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating world dependencies ...done!
[ebuild     U ] net-www/opera-7.52 [7.51]
[ebuild     U ] app-editors/nano-1.3.2-r1 [1.3.2]
