If this was a linux forum he'd probably be tarred and feathered by now .... many of that mob are total fanatics who face california three times a day and recite "Our Linus ......." the mere mention of that unmentionable software company (or any commercial one for that matter) sends them into a frenzy. What impressed me about the FreeBSD mailing list is the considerably more openminded attitude of most contributors .... there's always the "odd" one though who doesn't believe help forums are the place for newbies to ask basic questions To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
