=============
My timeline is similar to yours, 'cept that it starts about 6 months
earlier.
Pitfalls? Mainly -- the parameters to some commands are different.
Differences?
-- man hier is your friend. FreeBSD seems to be more logically organized

-- I prefer the ports tree over RPMs in RH Linux.
Explore and enjoy.
