I have a lot of experience with Linux, but I am a FreeBSD virgin. Are there any FAQ's out there that are designed to help a seasoned Linux user make the transition to FreeBSD? For instance, under Linux I issue the command: # /etc/rc.d/init.d/inet restart to restart the network after making changes. What is the similar command under FreeBSD? I am so lost right now I just reboot the machine after I make configuration file changes... :} A cross-reference of commands, configuration files, etc. would be a big boon to those making the same trip I am making. I would be happy to spearhead it, but right now I only understand the Linux half of the equation...
