There are a lot of commonly used applications that are available for both operating systems. The basic principles behind the two are very similar, as are most of their abilities. Where they differ, it is often not in what they can do, but instead how (or how well) they can do it. For instance, the command used by FreeBSD to create and modify firewalls is "ipfw", while it is "ipchains" for Linux. If you learn on one, learning the other will not be hard. > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > > -Spike Gronim sporkl@ix.netcom.com The majority only rules those who let them. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.3ia Charset: noconv iQCVAwUBNrTnL531G6IEwnwxAQG6nQP7BIDq/ZZ7C/UzsSR4rj0hDE1Jk5LCdZJy s2Qyl0Kv+7iPjxtw68m+e4qHYP/3Xguhz2s+0bKHn6HOwK4RV6b9zM6x+8Twg/8C bc6Pj8w2RQyWoeakcEbrFavb2P/MGdanE0m9Oso+IZ1db9xsAmzw2L3FajfDBJVk tXvf93ad88g= =824N -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
