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.
