By the way, does FreeBSD have its equivalent of the Linux Documentation
Project? I'm just asking. The Linux Doc Project has been my saving
grace installing and setting up Linux.
The Linux Documentation Project was a necessity because the Linux
directory structure was turning into such a convoluted and
self-conflicting mess.
BSD had an established and well thought out directory hierarchy before
Linux even existed. Proof of that is in how similar five different
BSD derivatives are in their current layouts: NetBSD, FreeBSD, 386BSD,
OpenBSD, and BSDI.
