This isn't a guide so much as it is a quick reference for common commands,
but it's got a bunch of *nix OSes...

Do you happen to know of a resource along the lines of "BSD for
Linux Users"?

I'd class myself as an experienced used, having had extensive
experience with several different distributions (currently using
Debian) but as I want to be a Sysadmin one day I recognize that I
need to learn a few different Unices.  I'm planning on installing
FreeBSD on a spare computer I have here and networking it to my
existing ones, hopefully to use it as a gateway server when I get
as far as grokking NAT etc.

I have a book "The Comprete FreeBSD" by Greg Lehey which is
pretty good but obviously oriented at somebody who hasn't used
Unix before.  It's been helpful and I have read through it, but
something that covered -just- the differences would be even
better!

OK, brief comment, and I put it on techtalk  'cause it seems to apply
there. But to me this seems like trying to "AMA-ize" linux or *nix. O know
it seems the rage, but is it really worth it. Is there really an equivelent
of the 3-years-of-basic-science in med school. Are there now an equivelent
the 30 hours? 3weeeks? of basic linux. I have my doubts.
Have Fun,
Sends Steve
P.S. I stuck this on techtalk cause it seemed the place where such stuff
is considered. Someone should ask the FreeBSD community that too/

thing..
i do not host my own domain..am being hosted on a friends server
