Johan,

1. DON'T TOP POST, follow Netiquette (and trim what you quote).
2. WRAP your lines, this is a traditional Unix based list -- lines less
   than 79 characters long, thank you very much
3. Thank you for starting the monthly bikeshed.  If you don't know how
   much a bikeshed this is (or even what a 'bikeshed' is), go read the
   archives.
3. Sounds like you want Linux with its RPM's, not BSD.  We consciously
   don't wrap the base system in pkg_add tarballs.  We generally LIKE the
   entire system being a single integrated blob.
