I am used to using Mandrake 8.x. I just installed FreeBSD on a test =
machine and find it less intuitive to use.
Can someone explain the big difference between Mandrake and FreeBSD?

In Mandrake, the current running DAEMON's are in the init.d directory.. =
were are they in FreeBSD? I don't have an /etc/init.d directory.

I use "locate" a lot.. I could find "locate" on my FreeBSD machine.. =
what's the equivelent?

Thanks for any info.
