I'm obviously interested in UNIX or I wouldn't have subscribed to this list. Having said that, it appears I am in 'over my head!' You folks have forgotten more than I will ever know, I think. Question: Having only a very rudimentary (One unfinished COBOL programming class in 1979)knowledge of programming, and only a bit less knowledge of operating systems, I'd like to know where to begin. I think starting with UNIX might be a mistake...? My sons are both technicians/sysadmins, but because I'm 'mom,' they don't think I'm serious about learning. I'd like to learn UNIX because I want to work on back-end internet /intranet support and this knowledge is necessary. Any help will be much appreciated. Warmly, Melody Akins _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
