So write it up, and submit it. I'm sure that if it doesn't suck, someone will commit it for you. The more quality documentation, the better. Yes, I agree, it would be nice to see something like this. You, myself, and everyone on this list has the ability to write something up, and submit it. > perhaps we don't want to make the OS easy to use and we should just > drop -current and go back to 3.x-STABLE. :-) Since when is -CURRENT about making the OS easier to use? I don't want FreeBSD to be "easier" to use. I want it to be secure, reliable, responsive and robust. In my opinion, when you make things so easy to use, that even the clueless can do -- you start attracting a whole lot of clueless people. That isn't a totally bad thing in itself, but when those same said clueless people start to think they are administrators - and people hire them. Then things start to get bad... Just look at the majority of Microsoft admins, and the latest wave of so called linux administrators. -- Robert Hough (rch@acidpit.org) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
