   - Good news. If you really feel you must, you can install a bunch of Linux utilities. Me, I think I'll learn the new way, but you can do it. And, it appears [[http://webmin.com|Webmin]] works. Haven't tested it.
   - You can not simply su to root unless you are a member of the //wheel// group.
+  - Most of your configuration is done in /usr/local/etc.
+    - /etc is mainly for systems stuff.
+    - For apps you install, the configuration files are probably in /usr/local/etc
+    - Cron jobs should either be done via the crontab command (user specific) or in /usr/local/etc/cron.d
   - For Perl scripts, get away from the #!/usr/bin/perl convention. use //#!/usr/bin/env perl//. Note this is the preferred way at least since 2008 for writing portable Perl code. See the discussion at http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=716740 if you want to know more.
   - Most importantly for me, webmin, joe, zabbix and htop are all available under FreeBSD. :)
