For many reasons I want to talk to other newbies in a newbie environment. It's hard to explain my reasons and you'll probably find this hard to understand, but I ask you for the moment just to accept that the need might be felt to exist, at least for some people. Freebsd-questions is good and useful, and so is the FAQ etc, but there's still something missing. I've never had a great deal of success with the mailing list search (I tend to get the questions but not the answers), but found the topic of a mailing list for newbies raised briefly last October, and some reference to previous discussions which were not visible. I have a lot of ideas about what I'd like to see, but most great ideas to date have turned out to be crap in the light of further information. Could someone please summarise the argument against a mailing list for newbies before I either press for one to be created or do it myself. -- Regards, -*Sue*- find / -name "*.conf" |more To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
