Well, for starters FreeBSD uses the BSD kernel, and Mandrake uses the
Linux kernel. :)

I haven't had much experience with FreeBSD, or any of the BSD's for that
matter, and even so it was only ever very minor remote tasks.

Thus, I can't tell you anything about running daemons nor the locate
command.  You may want to check out these two links:

http://www.freebsd.org/docs.html
http://www.vmunix.com/fbsd-book/index2.html

I hope this helps.

Kindest Regards,
 Ashley (aka ze0).
