As you can see, the demand is here. 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 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
