Like the control file in Linux ? The one there is, after saving the 
configuration from menuconfig or xconfig ?

So you have to be online, when installing programs with FreeBSD ?


As I have a standalone computer, and with a modem connection to the Internet. 
How is FreeBSD on my computer ? I have heard something about, that *BSD is best 
as a server, and not so good as a workstation ?

Btw, Is there any good *BSD handbooks out there ?
