        only those that are built by the pfSense team. (theres a small selection)

        If the software you wish to use isn't among them, then you need to 'pkg add' it manually along with its deps

          Yes it possible. Look for CUPS package thread https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=44941.msg624923#msg624923
          for example.
