Do I need to have any knowledge of Unix? Well, it will help a *LOT* if you did have some idea of what Unix is and what it can do; but if you're prepared to learn, it can be quite exciting (be prepared to spend heaps of time, though). I'd recommend that you have a book or 2 on Unix handy if you're new, especially Greg Lehey's "The Complete FreeBSD". Cheers. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Jonathan Chen | -insert-witty-quip-here- ------------------------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
