Description Graham Perrin freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2022-07-23 10:30:30 UTC 
<https://www.freebsd.org/applications/#_freebsd_runs_thousands_of_applications>

> … FreeBSD also includes an extensive packages collection and ports collection 

'packages collection refers to <https://www.freebsd.org/where/>, which seems wrong. 

'ports collection' refers to 'https://www.freebsd.org/ports/', which is the correct page, however the collection is _not integral_ to FreeBSD. 

----

I see other minor issues, but the phrase quoted above might partly explain why newcomers are sometimes confused about the essence of FreeBSD.
