With this I have already answered the question: yes it exists. BTW: Just because Linux and BSD are different and therefore we do not know each-other's system very intimately, there is no reason to be "ignorant and proud of it." A newbie's questions should be answered kindly and not dealt with in this 'Wtf' manner or people will never even try BSD.
