How much of the (partly very badly maintained) ports are of importance?
Heck, look at Debian vs. the rest. Simply because Debian has a few
tousand packages more doesn't make it any more suited for use than e.g.
SuSE.

See other reply. Faking FreeBSD is not a solution either, it tends to
HIDE problems. I don't know about KDE, I'm not there yet.

ROFL. This is bad because ports doesn't offer anything comparable?
