+=======
+
+The `FreeBSD`_ ports system offers both Django 0.96 (`py-django`_) and a more 
+recent, but not current, version based on Django's trunk (`py-django-devel`_). 
+These are installed in the normal FreeBSD way; for Django 0.96, for example, type: 
+``cd /usr/ports/www/py-django && sudo make install clean``.
