The FreeBSD Ports Collection is a framework of [.filename]#Makefiles# and patches specifically customized for installing applications from source on FreeBSD.
When installing a port, the system will fetch the source code, apply any required patches, compile the code, and install the application and any required dependencies.
-The Ports Collection, sometimes referred to as the ports tree, can be installed to [.filename]#/usr/ports# using man:portsnap[8].

Many Linux(R) distributions use the SysV init system, whereas FreeBSD uses the traditional BSD-style man:init[8].
Under the BSD-style man:init[8], there are no run-levels and [.filename]#/etc/inittab# does not exist.
Instead, startup is controlled by man:rc[8] scripts.
-At system boot, [.filename]#/etc/rc# reads [.filename]#/etc/rc.conf# and [.filename]#/etc/defaults/rc.conf# to determine which services are to be started.
+At system boot, [.filename]#/etc/rc# reads [.filename]#/etc/rc.conf# and [.filename]#/etc/defaults/rc.conf# to determine which services are to be started.
The specified services are then started by running the corresponding service initialization scripts located in [.filename]#/etc/rc.d/# and [.filename]#/usr/local/etc/rc.d/#. These scripts are similar to the scripts located in [.filename]#/etc/init.d/# on Linux(R) systems.
-The scripts found in [.filename]#/etc/rc.d/# are for applications that are part of the "base" system, such as man:cron[8], man:sshd[8], and man:syslog[3].
+The scripts found in [.filename]#/etc/rc.d/# are for applications that are part of the "base" system, such as man:cron[8], man:sshd[8], and man:syslog[3].
The scripts in [.filename]#/usr/local/etc/rc.d/# are for user-installed applications such as Apache and Squid.
Since FreeBSD is developed as a complete operating system, user-installed applications are not considered to be part of the "base" system.
