Eric, Start at www.freebsd.org and browse the online documentation. On the = FreeBSD box, the documentation is organized in the usual man pages, info = file and then doc files. Look in /usr/share and /usr/X11R6/share for = these files. Michael Akers M.

Not having much success with Debian Linux, I downloaded FreeBSD 3.2 and now have a running config, with a stable = XFree86 server. I like Unix, and I want more experience with it, but the online information isn't arranged in any order and there isn't a clear path to follow. I want to know what to study, what to know first, and what to learn next. I don't have a CS degree and I'm not an engineer, but I have no fear of = the hard-to-do. What I'm afraid of is running in circles, which is what I'm doing right now. Can anyone point me to an online resource, online = class, or give me his best outline? How do I lay a stable foundation, a body of knowledge to build upon?
