A few comments. Almost all of them are formatting, rather than content nits. This is good. :) - Try not to change whitespace and content in the same diff. This makes it harder for our translators to see what changed. - The maximum line length is 70 (with some exceptions, e.g., for links) - "FreeBSD" is spelled "&os;" - http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/openssh.html is spelled &url.books.handbook;/openssh.html - ssh(1) can also be spelled &man.ssh.1; - items at the same indentation level should have an extra newline - sentences have double spaces I've attached a modified diff so you could see how it may look. > > This patch seeks to update the FAQ question "What are the differences > between FreeBSD and NetBSD, OpenBSD, and other open source BSD operating > systems?" listed in the ThwackAFAQ wiki. > > I've attached the patch as 'differences-to-other-bsds.patch'. > > -Alex Weber > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-doc@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-doc > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-doc-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" > -- Eitan Adler [-- Attachment #2 --] commit 9c9beee3e224c3c0a416d841b2285aec59274f1f Author: Eitan Adler <lists@eitanadler.com> Date: Sun Dec 16 19:57:37 2012 -0500 Update and expand on the differences to other bsds question.
