Well no so much. The only official compiler is DMD and when it 
comes to that, Digital Mars, has pre-built binaries for most 
Linux distros and for FreeBSD. Now the repos are another thing 
like I told you in a previous reply. The repos are managed by the 
distro maintainers and not the developers individual. D is a very 
unpopular language so it makes sense that not every distro (and 
freeBSD) have up to date packages. Some distros are not rolling 
release in general. FreeBSD (if I'm not mistaken) never promoted 
themselves as bleeding edge either. However, both DMD and LDC2 
developers have up to date binaries for every platform they 
support. GDC is part of GCC so it's another story.... Also I 
prefer to use my distro's repos too for everything (and I can do 
that because I use Arch btw) but this is not possible every time. 
Downloading and installing binaries from other sites should be do 
some times, especially if you use non-bleeding edge distros or 
*BSD.
