Date: 2009-10-14 05:56 pm (UTC)(Out of curiosity: does it have a "This is the equivalent file/directory/command/admin command/admin task" *BSD-Linux phrasebook section? That's the main hurdle I find when trying to figure out how to do something I can do without thinking on FreeBSD, or how to install a new version of application foo using the package manager (And which one should/can I use? What are the pros/cons of each?), and it (and lack of time) kept me from getting into Linux beyond the "advanced commandline user" stage so far.)

FWIW, package managers pretty much go along with distributions; I use Debian or Ubuntu (which use dpkg or aptitude which is the semi-graphical frontend to dpkg) in part because I prefer their packaging system, which does intelligent things like picking up dependencies for you. RPMs (Redhat et al) don't do this; or didn't last time I looked, anyway.
