It is easier to install, use, and config. It is a more secure os than Linux. freeBSD is a true UNIX os, therefore I do not think there are a whole lot of difference with other UNIX flavor OS. It is worth to port. -----Original Message----- From: Allen May [mailto:umayxa3@donet.com] Sent: Monday, January 07, 2002 05:33 To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Differences between FreeBSD and Mandrake 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. -Allen May ------_=_NextPart_001_01C19793.78E9A8C0 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <META content="MSHTML 6.00.2600.0" name=GENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV><SPAN class=243125115-07012002><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I just moved to freeBSD and found BSD is much better OS to compare with Linux.
