True. FreeBSD *is* different. It's not Linux, that's for sure :-) Linux distributions tend to introduce local "Linuxisms" some times. This is not truly bad and one can easily understand the motives behind the additions (compatibility with other SYSV systems, ease of use, etc). Getting used to such Linuxisms is bad though -- as you have already discovered. It tends to be important only when you have to switch to some other UNIX, which is not Linux. > Can any give me good ref URL other that FreeBSD.org to refer BSD documents. > Basic admin guide, security guide, tools, commands & tips & tricks, HOWTO is > required to get hold the OS & explore in a better manner.
