Nice OS taste, it was very pleasing to see some of my favourites OS in the article: FreeBSD, Gentoo and Debian. Notice a little snag on the "Update packages tree" section for FreeBSD. "portupgrade -a" and "freebsd-update fetch" don't update the package tree. Portupgrade like the name implies, updates your installed ports according to the ports tree on you computer (regardless if that tree is up to date with FreeBSD servers). freebsd-update updates the the kernel and userland, it doesn't touch anything regarding ports and third party applications. Personally to update my third party applications after syncing my ports tree I use portmaster with the -aD flag. Keep the good stuff coming ;) Props on the article!
