Well, like I mentioned early on, I am relatively new to FreeBSD, less than 2 years or so. The way I set it up is based on what I read in the books by Greg L. and Ted M., and read in these mail lists. I figure if they suggest /tmp be symlinked to /usr/tmp and /var to /usr/var then that's good enough for me, because I don't know any better. If the guys following this thread, seems to qute a few now, have better suggestions, I open to them. I want to learn as much as I can about FreeBSD, in hopes of changing jobs from a winblows-centric network admin to higher level up. And these discussions sure help alot.
