1. I've heard there is support for Connectix QuickCam. Where do I find out more, how do I distinguish color vs. b/w for the system or is that automatic. 2. I've heard that Alpha is now supported. Yes? Up to 600MHz? 3. I've been wanting to establish a mirror site for a while. When I ask what I'll have to establish, I don't get workable answers. I understand about being inserted in the DNS as some numbered host, but I can't get any details as to what I'll have to do to support sup, cvsup, which sets of collections it would be desired for me to host, how my site will be kept in sync with momma, etc. If someone would like to fill me in on this or assist me, I can maybe unload a bit of ftp & c. bandwidth from walnut creek. 4. Can I run routed and mrouted on the same machine without causing headaches? 5. What sort of 'programme' is there for freebsd folks to go after major vendors to offer to port popular commercial products to freebsd? I hassle vendors now and then, symantec, netscape, adobe, etc. but of course they never reply with anything useful. 6. Does anyone know what I do to enable Apache to handle the "microsoft front page extensions"? 7. Whatever happened to 'units'? 8. Instead of being a ditz, I should (a) subscribe to which freebsd mailing lists, (b) which pertinent newsgroups? 9. We run a computer storefront, and would like to advocate FreeBSD as a more-than-viable component of an office network. We have sold a few "FreeBSD systems" to businesses and educational institutions as servers. Toward this end we're going to try to showcase FreeBSD in as much glory as we can shower on it, and try to install as many applications on it as possible to show that one can do most or even all of what one might like to do with a machine without having to use a Microsoft product. We'll also try to beef up to be a support center for installed free-Unix systems (FreeBSD, then Linux if necessary.) Therefore, I'd like to find where to intersect with the freebsd 'organization' to keep current on events and to work with folks who know of cool things that can be used on freebsd. Anyone wishing to give me assistance can reach me at ecsd@transbay.net. Thanks.
