I find that's true even going between "true UNIX" systems, like FreeBSD and Solaris. Maybe it was different back in the SunOS days, but modern Solaris has a lot of very Solaris-specific tools that work in opaque ways; for example, you don't edit links to /etc/init.d anymore, you create an XML service description file and use svcadm to manipulate it in some hidden database. There are still BSD-ish tools in Solaris (and GNU tools, too), but Solaris purists will strongly discourage you from using them. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
