Because some things are different between Unix variants, some things are the same. Picking up FreeBSD from scratch, newbies don't know which things are common and which are not. Of course they're going to ask here (Free BSD lists) first. As I said, there are a bunch of newbies that are also looking for the basic Unix help. To make any gains in the user base, this has got to be easier to get into at the bottom, not as a Unix user switching flavors. Ed Just MHO, not Armstrong.

It's a Unix question, and there are a plethora of Unix resources out there that answer these sorts of questions (see Sue's weekly FAK, or <URL:http://www.ugu.org/>).
