I wrote the small part on Samba. (Ok its basic stuff but usefull if you are starting out) Whilst the mailing lists are great, searchable etc things do get lost in time. Wouldnt it be great if there was a user cookbook for commonly required tasks (how many times has this list had the same questions asked :) Examples:- 1) Installing PostNuke on 5.2.1 2) Serving anonymous FTP 3) Creating a LAN Mail Hub Is there any such resource for FreeBSD ? (I am guessing that there is more official documentation but that this is less task / step orientated ?) If not - fancy starting one ?? :)) I have only got ADSL and an old box but would be willing to host it. All you have to do is help me get the software up and running :)) g:o)
