From my engineering background, I can say that there are many big, complex projects that are done where all kinds of skill levels are involved. The senior engineers who have all of the experience assign the junior engineers small tasks which still have to be done, but at the same time help to familiarize them them with the system and design process. I am merely looking to see if there are any of those types of tasks that might be floating around somewhere. -- Damien Tougas Systems Administrator Carroll-Net, Inc. http://www.carroll.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
