Ever since I started messing with FreeBSD I've been searching for newbie-friendly documentation written by someone other than an extremely experienced expert . The only things remotely near the level I wanted were the quite good but dated "Comprehensive Guide to FreeBSD" and the "Pedantic PPP", which was certainly a lot more explicit than anything else, but didn't help sufficiently to get ppp working. When I eventually got to the stage where I could understand enough to do an installation & get user-ppp /apache / sendmail / caching DNS / etc working , I figured I should produce my own version of a newbie tutorial, so hopefully those who experience the same problems as I did in comprehending the "official" documentation might have somewhere else to turn.Well its finally online in html form :) http://www.apana.org.au/FreeBSD/FreeBSD_Tutorial/ I'd appreciate any constructive criticism, particularly from newbies ..... hopefully I haven't left out too many of those "trivial but critical steps"..... something I've criticized document writers generally (not only the FreeBSD ones either) for doing countless times.
