'''Start-up scripts in FreeBSD'''
In FreeBSD, the start-up scripts is in the /etc/rc.d directory. If you want to make them enable, you should set them in the /etc/rc.conf file.

Differences in installation between FreeBSD and Linux:
=== Nestor CHAN ===
I tried to install FreeBSD in my virtual machine for few times. But I still havn't figured out the proper way to install. Instead, I found some valuable, fantastic resources about the differences between Linux, BSD and Solaris. I.'ve summerise and organised the articles and I would love to share with you

=Tips & Tricks=
* Enable root login: login as root. Issue the command 'pw mod user <username> -G wheel'. After issuing this command you'll be able to login as a root from given <username>
* Gnome on FreeBSD: Download the gnome package either during the installation or separately. As a root user add the line 'gnome_enable="YES"' to /etc/rc.conf, then reboot your machine. When you'll boot up you will see gnome desktop environment.

*I installed FreeBSD 7.1 on my laptop in a virtual machine that a run on Virtual Box. In the beginning I missed a lot the system-config-* commands I was used to have on Fedora, but time goes on and I found another ways to set up a nic, check the routing table "netstat -r".
*The biggest difference I found was that FreeBSD has all the services setted by default as "locked", then if you need to run something, you have to go there and enable it by yourself.
*Free BSD is not for beginners, once it ask you for everything it need. The opposite of Fedora or Ubuntu, that try to make everything for the user, without asking lot of questions.
