But there is! There is!
To subscribe, send a blank message to
freebsd-tips-subscribe@egroups.com
freebsd-tips is a list for newbies to ask "dumb" questions. Answers
come from other newbies on that list, plus any non-newbies who have
found the list interesting enough to subscribe and help out.
Personally, I'd prefer my machine's health to be in the hands of the
volunteering professionals at freebsd-questions, but not everyone is
so fussy. Try it out!
