I have decided to take the plunge and try out 5.2.1. I figure it will be 5.3 soon and I like the idea of upgrading at that time. So I am going to start fiddling with it. The first thing I am noticing is when installing apps from the ports directory my config files are getting put into /usr/local/etc instead of where I am used to /etc. I am guessing this by design and wanted to confirm this. Is this a config setting somewhere? It is fine in the /usr/local/etc directory but if it is a config setting then perhaps there are other settings that have changed that I have not encountered yet. I would like to read up on the changes. While I am on the subject. Are there any other differences between 4.10 and 5.X that will take me by surprise? I read through the Release notes on FreeBSD.org and it never mentioned the /etc directory thing. So perhaps there are some other items I should keep my eye out for. Thank you, Joshua Lewis
