You're not being very fair.. and from the sounds of your posts, you're trolling these forums.

The ports tree for FreeBSD and the other BSD's is quite easy to use, if you do not like them for some bizarre reason.. you can use the precompiled binary packages that they make available to end users.

% sudo pkg_add -r packagename

If this isn't adequate, you can compile things manually... using official source tarballs.. but note that ported software typically includes patches that allow the program to compile or run properly.

My apologies that nothing more "simplistic" is available.. anything more simplistic would likely be telepathic or voice activated.
