In almost all cases (when applications and services are installed via Ports or packages), configuration files and file locations are the same across all installs. No more trying to find out where Apache configs are located between Linux distributions... ditto for OpenSSH, dhclient, BIND, and not to mention, various MTAs. I guess it can be folded into ease of administration... :) --=20 Linh Pham question+advocacy@closedsrc.org Webmaster and FreeBSD Geek http://closedsrc.org Apprentice Manager Editor and Writer http://www.daemonnews.org Courage: The things I do for love | And So Western Civilization Crumbles --qDbXVdCdHGoSgWSk Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFACeR3whofDeWkDMIRAuStAJ4rmVZYXiUkGbuAlZ399dsqww8P/wCgoEo5 /5soTzEwUHG/AP4ue3CUJ0s= =p3Lm -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --qDbXVdCdHGoSgWSk--
