Hi! Still not got FreeBSD Installed. :-( I'm trying to get the hardware together, it's kind of difficult when your budget doesn't reach 3 figures! :) Anyway, even though I don't even have FreeBSD installed yet, I've been reading freebsd-newbies, -questions, and comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc and I think it's really amazing how much I've learned even though I've never actually had any exposure to the OS. I think that lurking about on the mailing lists and the newsgroups is the best way to prepare yourself for installing FreeBSD. I can actually *understand* most of the messages that fly about on -questions and c.u.b.freebsd.misc, and feel that I could actually answer them sometimes. And I've not even touched a FreeBSD system. Don't get me wrong, I don't consider myself any kind of expert, and I wouldn't answer anything on -questions until I have much more experience. I just think it shows how much someone can learn from just reading forums like -questions, and without even asking anything! I call it Passive Learning. I think I could probably market it on cable TV..... :) -- Andrew Boothman <andrew@boothman.easynet.co.uk> http://www.boothman.easynet.co.uk/andrew/ PGP Key available from public servers To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
