Keith,
I've only been using fBSD for about 3 years now, before that I had
the privilage of using, an IBM RT (with some flavour of AIX), and then
Domain OS (which later became part of HP UX), PRIMOS, Symbolics,
CTOS/BTOS (now there was a flaky and rather peculiar OS from UNISYS),
finally graduating upto solaris, and I even tried Both RH and Corel
linux along the way. When I evolved into BSD I think it was almost love
at first sight...I think the epiphany happen when I did my first install
(well ok it was more like the third or forth try of my first install but
anyway...) and I read the MOTD that said new users should familiarize
themselves with the system hierachy (man hier). I read that doc and it
all made sense. Then I too a look at the straight forward rc.conf and I
was done....
Stick it out it'll be worth it trust me...
Cheers,
Mikel
