===== fucking bsd notes =====
Hopefully some of this stuff will help me get over the hump to migrating away from Linux to BSD

==== Different BSDs ====
  * Dragonfly is x64 only
  * GhostBSD is 64-bit only, requires at least 4GB of memory, and only MATE DE is supported


==== FreeBSD ====
=== Using Packages ===
Install the package manager with
  # pkg
Install packages with
  # pkg install <appname>

=== unqualified host name ===
If you have a delay at boot because of an unqualified host name
  # hostname
  # nano /etc/hosts
Then add your hostname to the 127.0.0.1 entry

=== reduce boot delay ===
This is the main timer at boot (10 seconds by default)
  # nano /boot/loader.conf

  autoboot_delay="3"

=== mount samba share ===

  # mount_smbfs //user@server/shared /home/user/shared

=== services ===
List running services
  # service -e
Add a service to /etc/rc.conf
  # sudo sysrc nginx_enable=YES

=== user stuff ===
Change shell
  $ chsh -s bash
Does this work to install a desktop environment?
  # pkg install xorg openbox
  $ echo "exec openbox-session" > ~/.xinitrc
