Howdy everyone,
I have finally decided to send a post. It's been a few months since =
I have sucessfully installed FreeBSD 4.8 using the boot floppies and the =
ftp install method. It took several attempts to do it correctly. Since =
that wonderfull day, I have met many great people and, using a unix =
based IRC client has opened up a world of possibilities. =20
I too had no experience, except for MS products, and have had an =
apparently tough time getting acquainted with the 'CLI', which is why I =
decided to write.=20
I see several people having the same issue(s) I once had. All I can =
say to other newbies is to simply stick with it. I spent approximately =
2 horribly frustrating weeks trying to set up a gateway. Without the =
support of my IRC peers, and some much needed advice, I may have fallen =
by the way side and resorted back to M$. =20
I now have a home network, a personal webserver, and a new, clearer =
understanding of computers in general. The best part of it all is that =
it was free!! (minus the obligatory legwork) My understandings only =
continue to improve each day.
Please consider my post a big 'Thank You' for the entire community =
that actively supports free software and a greater understanding of and =
for the world of computing.
