Really, what I would like to see is some annotated pages of resource links, covering various types of resources. The current "news" page lists only a few sites; many others exist. I am posting my BSD link file (under separate cover), as a starting point; perhaps others can help me fill it in. Getting back to the specific issue of technical resources, however, I would recommend listing (at least): http://freebsd.peon.net/ "freebsd.peon.net" tutorials, man pages (from freebsd.org) http://freshports.org/ "FreshPorts - the place for ports" information on ported software http://minnie.cs.adfa.oz.au/FreeBSD-srctree/FreeBSD.html "Cross-references for FreeBSD" hyperlinked source code tree for FreeBSD 3-STABLE http://www.acme.com/firewall.html "FreeBSD Firewall Configuration" http://www.cfcl.com/Meta/md_fb.html "The FreeBSD Browser" search engine for FreeBSD files and documentation http://www.mostgraveconcern.com/freebsd/ "FreeBSD Cheat Sheets" "step-by-step instructions for installing, configuring, and maintaining a FreeBSD system" -r -- -- http://www.cfcl.com/rdm email: rdm@cfcl.com phone: +1 650-873-7841 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
