Hello list...

I'm _very_ new to FreeBSD, and I have a couple of questions about the lack
of init scripts...

1) is there any equivalent to init scripts in freebsd?

2) If not, can someone point me in the direction of a newbs guide to
FreeBSD?

3) How complete is the linux binary support, and where can I find a list of
the lib versions that are install for it?

TIA
