You are free to use freebsdupdate (updates the system - assuming you 
have never compiled the src tree). And you are free to use pkg_add and 
pkg_delete.

The ports tree is just that, app that are NOT in binary format. These 
are apps you build and update yourself.

FreeBSD isn't designed like Linux. It's meant to be the Unix version of 
Windows. If you want that type of format, then reconsider staying with 
whatever distro of Linux you had.

No offense of course, you just need to realize that FreeBSD (or any 
ofter BSD) isnt made to look like, feel like, smell like, taste like, 
act like ANY Linux distro.
