I, too, was under the impression that this group was formed to take some 
of the more elementry problems and questions off the -questions list.  
This makes sense to me.  I just installed freebsd on a extra machine that 
used to be my file server when hdd prices were high.  I finally got it 
running after installing it about 15 times and playing a lot.  The next 
iteration of this will be an attempt to get x-windows up and running, and 
eventually start learning and programming in Java.

If I get stuck, I intend to ask questions here rather than the -questions 
group, as that group appears to be for the more advanced UNIX hacker.

BTW, I think that virtually every mailing list has an "attitude".

Regards,

Paul
