FreeBSD is an advanced operating system for modern server, desktop, and embedded computer platforms.[[http://freebsd.org]] This is only a brief crash course or introduction to a few of the import tasks in FreeBSD, mostly installing ports/packages, upgrading the system and navigating the file system. FreeBSD maintains an incredible wealth of documentation on their website, see their [http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ Handbook] for information. A great intro to FreeBSD can be found http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/linux-users/article.html <box :!!!:> Please note that I come mostly from Linux, so I tend to setup FreeBSD in a manner that is similar to my Linux environment (ie, bash vs csh...). </box> > Each command in this topic starts with a # if it is meant to be run as the root user, or a $ (or no sign) if it is meant to be run as the regular user (your main user account)

See LXF 114 p48, 'Banish Your Daemons' Runlevels are defined levels in which a linux operating system can start. Daemons (or services) are scripts/programs that run in the background constantly (like apache or mysql are services that are always running) and are usually executed at startup by the defined runlevel. Runlevels are identified by a number from 0 - 6, but each linux distribution may use those numbers a bit differently. Basically a runlevel determines which daemons to execute at startu...
