If you really want to run in RedHat land, then just run RedHat. FreeBSD has its own tools - some of them with the same or similar name and some different that will do what you need just fine. But they won't turn FreeBSD in to RedHat. Probably it will be better. ////jerry > > Higher ups like knowing things will be as smooth as possible and most of the > inhouse experience is with RHEL so I don't want to end up lumping a lot of > extra work on the people with freebsd experience... > > Thanks, > Wayne > > > On 23/03/2006 14:35, "Daniel A." wrote: > > > On 3/23/06, Wayne wrote: > >> Hey Guys, > >> > >> Can anybody point me to some good resources on mingrating from Linux to > >> FreeBSD? > >> Since the threads issue which would have had detrimental effects on MySQL on > >> FreeBSD has been sorted out with FreeBSD 5 we are looking at the possibility > >> of migrating from RHEL to FreeBSD for our web services. > >> Does anybody have any links to some good resources on migration from Linux > >> to FreeBSD, I know google is my friend but I was hoping that some folks on > >> here might have an idea of 'best of' that I can use for presenting the > >> case... > >> > >> Thanks, > >> Wayne > >> > >> > >> _______________________________________________ > >> freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > >> http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > >> To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" > >> > > It really depends. > > If your setup is exotic and complex, I dont think you will ever be > > able to find a guide.
