In this entry, some notes I'm taking while exploring some FreeBSD.
Given my long history with Linux, the first thing I'm doing while exploring
this system from the handbook. I'm finding out things on this alternative
operating system, and realizing that some of them exist on GNU/Linux as
well, and I never knew about them. I'm marking with B the BSD things,
with L the Linux things, with both the common things.
I'm keeping some notes, the things I find somewhat interesting, just to recall of them later.
Did you know that…? Because I didn't.
- [B,L] The
intromanual page. Every section has one. - [B,L] There's a
man hier. - [B, L?] /var/ may be mounted in ram. I'm quite sure that this is not a thing in Linux, even if /var/run/ might definitely be wiped across reboots in Linux.
- [B, L]
nosuidmounts - [B] /proc/ is not mounted by default. And once mounted it turns out to be extremely terse: just one directory for each process, nothing more.
…work in progress, who knows when I'll got more time for this.
