One thing that I wanted to add... dunno how relevent it is... but: With Linux, the location of config files, startup files and services can differ greatly from one distribution to another. Which means that if you had worked primarily in RedHat at one place then moved somewhere else that used Debian or SuSE, you'd have to re-learn some of the differences and nuances. With FreeBSD, it's one distribution and there is a standard (or at least recommendation) of where to place startup scripts (/usr/local/etc/rc.d) or config files (/etc or /usr/local/etc). Of course, that may not hold when you move from FreeBSD to OpenBSD or NetBSD... --=20 Linh Pham question+advocacy@closedsrc.org Webmaster and FreeBSD Geek http://closedsrc.org Apprentice Manager Editor and Writer http://www.daemonnews.org Courage: The things I do for love | And So Western Civilization Crumbles --7JfCtLOvnd9MIVvH Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE+TxR/whofDeWkDMIRAvNBAKCxB2JP6fRb620ibk1qntOR9xhdtACgq9xs /308Iu87yoCIJBr2lHqhiL8= =+h3p -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --7JfCtLOvnd9MIVvH-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
