I didn't know anything about pkg_add.. that would have helped me a lot
sooner.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I have to stop comparing FreeBSD to Mandrake. There is enough of a
difference between to the two to make it really frustrating.

Can you recomend a "spand the gap" book that will give me the insider tips
with FreeBSD?

Thanks
