My mistake. really what I probably should have asked what is the best way to learn FreeBSD. Through classes or as I am doing now, in the trenches grinding my way through? I do know many of those " Paper Certified" administrators, so I understand. Well back to the trenches I go. Before I go another question. I am building my FreeBSD workstation from the ground up. Does anyone have any suggestions for the board to use. and what processor would be best Intel or should I go towards the Alpha. I have been leaning towards an asus P2B-S, or ASUS P3C-S for a motherboard, with a Pentium 3. I am still researching the Alpha. thanks again, John Flowers Steve Hovey wrote: > > On Tue, 29 Feb 2000, John Flowers wrote: > > > > > Where do I go to find classes to be certified in FreeBSD. > > > > Short answer, there aren't any.
