The biggest difference that I've seen is the way that they handle devices. Pretty similar as other distros are similar. It will just take some time to get used to how they are different. If you can get yourself around and RPM and DEB based distro pretty good, then you should be ok.

I will be starting a job pretty soon that is apparently pretty FreeBSD- and Solaris-intensive. I understand that, as Unix-like systems, the various GNU/Linux distros have a great deal in common with these operating systems. However, there are some differences, of course. Are there any particularly good guides to making the jump out there? Something along the lines of, "if you are used to doing X in Debian, you'll need to do Y in FreeBSD" would be nice. Any suggestions? Thanks- Andrew -------------------- BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ The opinions expressed in this message are the responsibility of their author.
