I was wondering if anybody here might be interested in writing and donating a few Freebsd tutorials or articles to Raiden's Realm to help us boost the number of Freebsd related articles on the site. A lot of what we have is Linux oriented right now because most of the people there are Linux oriented. I'm one of the few who's Freebsd oriented. And since my goal is to help people learn both Linux and Freebsd, I'm looking for people willing to help out by writing long or short tutorials on doing a variety of simple and complex tasks in Freebsd. The site is completely non-profit and is very new user oriented. I've even written a number of tutorials over the past couple of years focusing on several things involving Freebsd, from setting up a firewall, a workstation, and a file and mail server, to exploring the heart of Freebsd in order to help draw new users into our world. But my knowledge only goes so far, and I've seen that you guys really have a lot of great knowledge and information to share and if possible, I'd love to see a few of you share that knowledge through articles and tutorials on my site. My simple goal is to help people, and to promote Freebsd (well, and Linux too. hehe) as much as I can to new users. If anyone's willing to help, please let me know, or just shoot me something whenever you get the time. I'm not trying to beg or anything, but rather I'm trying to encourage others here to help new users through the web. Not everyone will know about this mailing list, or want to sign up to it. There's a lot of lurkers out there these days, and if you have a good tutorial or article posted on a website, it'll improve the chances of them hearing and learning about Freebsd. Thanks for taking the time to read this. And if you can help out, I'd appreciate it. Also, I'm not advertising the site. Just asking for some help. Since open source is about sharing, it only stands to reason that some sharing can and should be done as well on the web. :) Steven Lake Owner/Technical Writer Raiden's Realm www.raiden.net Bringing Linux and BSD to the World
