sounds like freebsd ain't the distro for you bro
Why don't you ask on the bsd forums?
do you even know what wget and yum is?
wget is used to stuff from internet and yum is a installer in bsd
Damn Debian is so awesome.
how is yum a bsd installer and what does this have to do with debian anyways
OP, FreeBSD has wget in its ports collection. You can compile it and install it by going to /usr/ports/ftp/wget directory and typing "make install clean". There is no yum in ports. Hopefully, my response was helpful to you.
I wish it was always you at the other end of a tech support call.Quote:

The easiest one is to switch to a branch of the operating system in the tutorial i.e. Redhat/Fedora or the second choice is to find tutorials that deal with configuring a seedbox under FreeBSD. The question I have is why would you configure a seedbox using FreeBSD when there are SELinux distro's available which offer a high level of security (ie Fedora) but are far less awkward to configure than FreeBSD which after all is designed for large server farms.
I feel comfortable with jails in freebsd than SELinux in linux distros.Quote:
