I've posted questions to the linux users' groups for SuSE and Mandriva duri= ng=20 my years as a linux desktop user. They are largely composed of posts by my= =20 fellow amateur enthusiasts, whose knowledge does not go very deep. This=20 list's base seems to be IT professionals who are happy to help non-competen= t=20 strangers, and do so clearly and tactfully. (And in some cases, such as wit= h=20 the fellow from obsecurity.com, with a five-minute turnaround.) I find this= =20 remarkable, and much appreciate it.=20 Also, the online FreeBSD handbook is a much more useful thing than anything= I=20 ever paid to get from SuSE or Mandriva. I'm not getting all the GUI tools I= =20 had with linux, but I have better help and better-organized reference=20 materials.
