Some few more details about BSD.
Take into consideration if you need sudo! BSD is something like the grandpa of apple and millions of apple users complain about sudo, not knowing what is happening. It sets your changes made back, a real setback. In my linux distro I disabled sudo without any problem.In my BSD I am figuring out what to do.

The files
Code:
 /etc/rc.conf

and
Code:
 /etc/rc.shutdown

a likely to be important for your special configuration, server or desktop.

If you need an application that is not in the ports (the programms bundle) you download the tar-ball archive and unpack it to the users jail (account).

You may join one of those BSD-forums, but my experience was, they treat you quite snobbish, with the stiff upper lip, you were not born to use BSD or even Unix, unless you are one of these masters of the universe.

And once again, the BSD handbook is much better than most of the manpages, which are probably made to be read only by the developers.

So have fun, don't give up, it is worth it. Thumbs up!


there is one more important thing you should know about BSD filessystem. If you connect an external drive such like a usb-stick or an external usb-HDD be aware to make this item be formatted in msdos fat32. My ugly expierience last year told me that ext2/3/4 do not communicate with UFS or ZFS, whatever you try. I am using as well usb-sticks and an external HDD, with fat32, it works smoothly.
So good luck discovering the possibilities of BSD, it is good.
