The first few results are quite interesting.

Note that the statuses in ps and top are different to what you get on
linux, and bear a surprising resemblance to freebsd.

Note that these are all the BSD variants as well:
 | zsh, trough 4:14PM piglet/ % ifconfiglo0:
 | flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384
 | inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128
 | inet6 fe80::1 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1
 | inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000
 | gif0: flags=8010<POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1280
 | stf0: flags=0<> mtu 1280

netstat uses . instead of : to delimit port#s, route requires a command
rather than defaulting to providing a dump of the routing table.

You should play with freebsd. You'll be more or less at home until you spot
the "little" differences. ;)
