One of the points that should be kept in mind : (IMO) is that the SysV RC style dominates Linux...a fact I've used to : convince people that FreeBSD administration is easier, faster, : better...etc. But the NetBSD style is exactly as easy to administer as the FreeBSD style. It is more modular and easy to expand after the boot. How do I start nfs on FreeBSD after it boots? Well, you grep it out of /etc/rc*. With the NetBSD style, it is as simple as '/etc/rc.d/nfsd start' It isn't SysV RC style. It is BSD style taken to its logical next step. All the knobs for this are still in a central location, so you don't have to make sure you get the hardlinks right.
