I'm about ready to ditch Windoze for good and I'm spending what little free time I can find to prepare by researching FreeBSD. Currently, I run two OpenBSD servers and use a 3rd OpenBSD system (a laptop) as a portable terminal. I have 3 years of *nix (OpenBSD, true64, linux) experience, but only one years experience as an administrator (OpenBSD). My main desktop system is W2k and I am sick and tired of it. I have decided to replace W2k with FreeBSD, as it is more suited to desktop use than OpenBSD. Now that I'm done babbling, here's my question: What major differences will I encounter (post-install) as a new FreeBSD user/administrator that my OpenBSD experience wouldn't have prepared me for? I'm particularly curious about large underlying differences, but I'm interested in anything you folks consider important. Thanks in advance for the help. -Scott To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
