Honestly. Need I remind you, this is FreeBSD, *not* Linux?
In all honesty, I am *not* pleased with the current efforts to
turn the FreeBSD motto "The Power to Serve" into
"FreeBSD, it's the new Linux". But I [begrudgingly] understand the
inclination to do so.
That said. While I understand your inclination to think FreeBSD
must somehow be broken, when it doesn't operate as you're accustomed
with Linux. This is FreeBSD, after all, and as hard as everyone works
to eliminate the element of surprise, this is still FreeBSD.
So celebrate the difference. Don't curse it, or more importantly;
it's hard working developers. :)
