You can post your how-to to all the sites that will accept them. There is noting like that in the official FreeBSD.org environment. All FreeBSD has is the official handbook and if you feel your write out is better than what is in the handbook, or if handbook does not cover your how-to, then tar your how-to and submit it to the FreeBSD doc group using the pr-send command. There are instruction to follow on Freebsd.org site under doc. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of Graham Bentley Sent: Saturday, June 19, 2004 8:47 AM To: FreeBSD-Questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: FreeBSD Wiki Hi All, I was just wondering something :- I have used in the past Trustix Linux which has a nice Wiki page http://doc.trustix.org/cgi-bin/trustixdoc.cgi?TrustixWiki It includes some nice step by step configs for that distro and I think its great that peeps can add there own info and collaborate in this way. 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) _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
