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

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

Install the package manager with

# pkg

Install packages with

# pkg install <appname>

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

This is the main timer at boot (10 seconds by default)

# nano /boot/loader.conf

autoboot_delay="3"

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

List running services

# service -e

Add a service to /etc/rc.conf

# sudo sysrc nginx_enable=YES

Change shell

$ chsh -s bash

Does this work to install a desktop environment?

# pkg install xorg openbox
$ echo "exec openbox-session" > ~/.xinitrc
