You've quite obviously missed the point... you probably haven't used Linux to any great degree (maybe proudly); but the IRC avenue for help is highly developed on the specific linux IRC servers. I realise that #linux is just as bad on EFNET but try the linpeople.org servers and you will see what I was trying to get across. IRC is a highly responsive form of peer help and the Linux guys have taken up the challenge and are providing excellent support to Linux users through this medium. Something the FreeBSD camp could 'emulate' as they do so well :) Oben Candemir To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
