I have a hard time thinking like a Unix person still, mostly because I don't know how to do so. Secondly, pretty much jumping in feet first I know I'm making mistakes that may cause problems down the road, i.e. when I install a package, where should I download the file too? Does it matter? Where should I untar it too? How much swap space is enough? Those are the kinds of questions I have. I've read a few system administrator books. Mostly I learned to do regular backups and to make sure I have adequete power backup system. Is there a Zen for Unix Administrators? :) Rick www.grendal.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
