Today's post looking for drive imaging software is a good example: "I know that in Windows NT we would use a product such as Norton Ghost, how would I go about creating such a clone in FreeBSD?" I am wondering if there is a website that is currently maintained that shows a table of congruent applications. where I would be able to reference when looking for a similar kind of functionality in this new (to me) *nix world. If there isn't, someone might volunteer to start one, suggest why this is a bad idea, or if nobody will take the initiative I might be able to do it, but my very limited knowledge to this point makes it tough for me to have any kind of solid foundation from which to start. thoughts? ===================================== James Gill * http://www.topsecret.net ===================================== To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
