@sourcerer on closer inspection, parts of the collection are terribly outdated. For example, at <https://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/rants/bsd4linux/07>: – the 2003 page for portupgrade was removed by O'Reilly fifteen years later– the pkg_add stuff became outdated maybe eleven years ago (see below, the 2012 commit)… and so on. #FreeBSD @vermaden would you like to contact the author? Matthew D. Fuller.<https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/commit/2394542b4e2455141818936c11734c82275aedab> "pkg_add is no more the default tool, …"

@grahamperrin @sourcerer I think the author knows that - he just wrote that long time ago.Not sure if that would be polite - "Hey man, nice guide and all but its not like that anymore you know?" :)

@vermaden @grahamperrin I noticed that article is dated, but i really enjoyed reading. Personally, i found that for Linux user - knowing Gentoo is still beneficial in transition to FreeBSD. Also, i don't want to be delusional and believing that "only that way is the correct way" - I just found that some points are timeless, and they resonates with me. How much of it is still true?I know everything move forward, but there must be something - i want to know :blobcat:

@vermaden If you don't mind, i will read this carefully later and reply. "Always willingly helpful – especially towards newcomers." - That's true, and i feel this here. I'm thinking about joining bsd.cafe in future now. You are right that people are important. This is another good reason to mv.Most of linux materials on web are desktop related. I wanted something like jails and ... pf is very simple firewall - 5 min of setup ... i don't want to tell how long took me netfilter 1st time.

@sourcerer If you want to migrate to #bsd.cafe instance, @stefano will be pleased to welcome you. I confirm #pf is nice and easier to setup. @vermaden

@stefano @alelab @vermaden Thank you. I will prepare for migration. I think, i never get that much encouragement in technical field. Today i'm busy, but i will apply. Thank you. *BSD people are the best.
