Details
This patch shuffles some text in the ports section of the Handbook. The presentation assumes more knowledge on the part of a new user to FreeBSD than it should. In good writing, concepts should always be introduced before being discussed. The current presentation mixes them. The new order introduces applications, then ports, then packages, and then elaborates on the difference between packages and ports. 90% of the content is merely moved. Some editing for clarity is included.
