I just started work on Freebsd.I have practise on Redhat. But finding dfficulty in freebsd as some basic command are not availabe in Freebsd.
Like rpm, service etc.
How can I check the package as we do in Redhat
# rpm -q squid
How can I make an ordinary user a root user.
as we do in Redhat #adduser -o switch.
How can i check the ram usuage as #free -m
Moreover i will be thankfull if any one provide some good links of Freebsd from where I can learn quickly.

Dear kashif,
Salam,
FreeBSD is Differenet then Red Hat. FreeBSD is Similar to Slackware. To install packages (ie. pre-compiled binaries as opposed to using ports, ie. going from source code) : pkg_add /path/to/tar/gz/package . To query installed packages : pkg_info . To remove a package : pkg_delete . Just like under Linux, packages do not ship with all their depencies, which you'll have to install beforehand... Adding an ordinary user a root user Please Check this Out: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO885 ... s/x71.html
Best Regards.
