Questions is great for technical questions and help on > problems. Sorry.... I disagree... This has been an ongoing problem. -newbies was created with the cavet that ALL technical questions be asked in -questions. There are multiple reasons for this, but the main reason is that -newbies is just that. If you have a buisness dependant on your system and get flawed information from -newbies accidently, it could make things worse. -Newbies is for helping the newbie know where to get information, not what the actual information is. In my opinion this mailing list has become a hinderance to the FreeBSD Project... nothing -newbie related gets discussed here, including by myself.
