[-- Attachment #1 --] I'd like to suggest that I haven't seen IRC listed as a resource for FreeBSD. Currently there is at least two IRC channels on EFNET and I haven't looked at other servers. Comparatively, there are tons of linux support channels, and the NetBSD IRC channel has more people than the two FreeBSD IRC channels. Its great to be able to go to an email list for help. But sometimes its just as good to go to an IRC channel to chat and get a quick tip. But this only works if there are plenty of people there so you can get a couple of opinions and hopefully an expert or two who likes to hang out in chat. So I'd like to suggest that you include IRC as a possible resource (on the freebsd.org web site, and in "The Complete FreeBSD"). There are two channels I know of on EFNET: #freebsdhelp and #freebsdadmin. This would be a nice addition to the support network for FreeBSD, if there were more people there. And you can make it happen. Thanks!
