I found this to be true as well. Although most of the Linux community is very kind as well, I found this type of "I know the answer to that, so you should too" in some of their lists/groups. > But as a new FreeBSD user I am amazed at the first > off response and help I have had. This is the same feeling I got when I started using FBSD at v4.5. > Unbiased, polite, patient and informative. ...and many of the original people who were on the list when I came here are still here, and just as kind and open to share their experiences and offer knowledge they've aquired along the way as they were then. > Hats off to FreeBSD supporters everywhere ! Yes, and hats off to the new users who make the change to FreeBSD, because most of them I assume will be drawn in to lists like this and eventually help with their knowledge they aquire due to the kind nature of the people who help them out. > Its a great community !!! That's exactly what I feel this is... a community, of one person helping out another, with patience and tolerance.
