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.
