FreeBSD to SuSE

Awhile back I tried out FreeBSD for a couple months. I was used to SuSE (which I'm back to) so I ran a few commands to make my environment a bit more familiar. If you are a recent convert, you can use this code too.

    whereis bash

    chsh  change shell to bash (used sysinstall to install bash)

    ln -s  /etc/periodic/weekly/310.locate /bin/updatedb (for locate)

    pw user mod chrissy -G wheel (for su to work)

         alternatively, I could have done this:

         edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config  add PermitRootLogin YES

         but I didnt.

    edit /etc/rc.conf add apache_enable="yes"

    edit .profile add PS1="\h:\w "

    edit .profile add alias dir="ls -la"


    made note that restart scripts are in here: /etc/rc.d/

I’ve run FreeBSD for a few years now..I prefer it to Linux..
I’ve even tried playing with a few Linux distributions recently, and I was mosly not impressed.. BSD just fits my needs better I guess..
I can see a place for Linux though.. Enormous effort has gone into making it easier for new users to understand what’s going on..

Nearly every one that tryied FreeBSD stood with FreeBSD. It’s much better than Linux for profesionnal use.
