I tried NomadBSD in order to use RDP, but I couldn't get an earlier version of Remmina or xfreerdp.

It might be my lack of experience with BSD, but I got the impression that it is very hard to get a previous version of a package with BSD.

edit: corrected the name NomadBSD

I've never heard of MonadBSD, but installing a previous version of a package is straight forward on FreeBSD. Just specify the version when you use pkg or use portdowngrade.

Do you mean NomadBSD? Hearing MonadBSD and thinking about Haskell, I suddenly got really curious, but couldn’t find anything on Google...

That would be a fun name for the BSD answer to nixos...

Heads-up: Nix is on its way to start working on FreeBSD: https://github.com/0mp/freebsd-ports-nix

My bad, it was NomadBSD.
