FreeBSD related stuff, not really under the hood stuff !!!

What is the best way of learning to adapt to *NIX based Operating System ?
The answer to this question is, from my point of view, to just roll up your sleeve
and pop in the iso image and start installing it from scratch on your machine, be
it if you accidently formatted your windows partition, or you lost your entire drive
data. Basically at first things might get a little bit frustrating, but those frustrating
moment, if aided with the right problem solving skills can be cure easily.

Few tips on how to get around those bits of technical stuff when you first stumble
upon “/dev”, “rc.conf” and a whole lot more new concept:

1. RTM. (#man man)
Typing man as a habit will be the first step in feeling at home in *NIX environment.

2. Documentation
FreeBSD Handbook is a very good guide in getting started with FreeBSD

3. GOOGLE
Dude, since this is a verb, then DO IT!!!! But too bad if you only had a single machine
in front of you
