You can ask freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG or freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG; although you will probably get a better response from the first one on more technical questions. You will probably want the 2.2.5 release in which case you will want to subscribe to at least the following mailing lists: freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG NOTE: you don't have to subscribe to any of these lists but sometimes you will pick up subtle hints of problems/solutions by tuning in. > 4.

Greg Lehey also has a new printing of "The Complete FreeBSD" due out any day now. You might also want to look into the magazine, SysAdmin. > 5. Or am I just whistling Dixie?

Our support is usually instant and always free. Setup an NT server and you will quickly see what I mean.
