Well, like I mentioned early on, I am relatively new to FreeBSD, less tha= n 2=20 years or so. The way I set it up is based on what I read in the books by = Greg=20 L. and Ted M., and read in these mail lists. I figure if they suggest /tm= p be=20 symlinked to /usr/tmp and /var to /usr/var then that's good enough for me= ,=20 because I don't know any better. If the guys following this thread, seems= to=20 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= =20 from a winblows-centric network admin to higher level up. And these=20 discussions sure help alot.
