+.Sh NAME
+.Nm ports
+.Nd contributed applications
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm FreeBSD Ports Collection
+offers a simple way for users and
+administrators to install applications.
+Each 
+.Ar port
+listed here contains any patches necessary to make the original
+application source code compile and run on BSD. Installing an
+application is as simple as downloading the port, unpacking it and typing
+make in the port directory. The Makefile automatically fetches the
+application source code, either from a local disk or via ftp, unpacks it
+on your system, applies the patches, and compiles. If all goes well,
+simply type
+.Ar make install
+to install the application.
