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.
