| Hiten,
| 
| 	Please also note, if not already, the astounding difference 
| between our sysv init to Linux.  Linux has an rc.d directory which 
| contains files and folders for different "modes" and FreeBSD does 
| not have an rc.d directory.  Taking this topic a bit deeper, I really 

Actually, it does:  /usr/local/etc/rc.d/.  And it is the preferred place
for startup scripts (except the system stuff in /etc/rc and friends,
controlled by rc.conf).

| like (as a previous linux user) the FreeBSD rc system, the rc.local 
| is alot easier to work with and on and on...  To be totally honest, I 
| think FreeBSD IS easier to use than linux (I know someone may 
| hit me for that) but its my opinion though...

It is nice that you get the option to use rc.local still (although this
is deprecated).
