Especially, is there a way to read postings > devoted to FreeBSD and other similar operating systems? http://groups.google.com/ lets you read and post to pretty much all Usenet newsgroups via the web. However, most FreeBSD activity is actually carried on the mailing lists (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/eresources.html#ERESOURCES-MAIL) --- these are gatewayed into newsgroups in various places so you can pick them up using google groups, but GeoCrawler has a good archive (http://www.geocrawler.com/) which is kept pretty promptly up to date. (The archives at the main FreeBSD site (http://www.freebsd.org/search/index.html#mailinglists) only get updated once a week) Of course, you could always subscribe...
