I certainly wouldn't say that ...... I definitely prefer to use docs from the likes of bsdvault.net & freebsddiary.org to either of the "official" sources since they are written from a newbie viewpoint with infinitely more attention given to filling in the steps missing in documentation written by experts. Just the fact that more & more "user-friendly / newbie" sites are popping up is in itself a clear indication that despite recent improvements the official versions are still missing the boat to some extent. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jason La" <jasonla_@hotmail.com> To: <dougy@gargoyle.apana.org.au>; <GLOBALLINK2001@aol.com>; <freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Monday, January 15, 2001 7:18 AM Subject: Re: new documentaion > >From what I have seen, the documentations that exists is too shallow and > un-uniform to be of any use to newbies.
