I am trying to make the conversion from Linux to FreeBSD; and I have a few questions: 1. How do you check for free memory in FreeBSD? (I'm looking for the equivalent of Linux's 'free'.) 2. How can I tell if swap is being used appropriately? (I'm used to seeing a swap entry in /etc/fstab.) 3. What's the best way to move MySQL tables from an ext2 slice to an FreeBSD (ffs or ufs?) slice? The slices are on different hard drives; but in the same system. 4. Will I lose any functionality in FreeBSD if I continue to use bash? Do I need to learn csh (root's default shell)? 5. I've noticed that many FreeBSD users use applications that are written for Linux. What is the appropriate way to install a Linux application? Do I need to compile from source? Thank you for your help and your patience, Andrew To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
