	you are in a unique position compared to man of us.
	you are new to both FreeBSD and Unix.

	many dont remember the pitfalls and snags that we ran into
	wehn starting to use Unix.

	if you can keep a log of what you dont knwo and what (even better)
	what you learn, this cna be incorporated into the documentation

	new users around the world will speak your name with awe
	and hold their manhood cheap that they we not with  uhhh...wrong script.

	seriously, this would helpa great number of people who are getting
	started with FreeBSD.

	we are currently seeing the start of a wave of new users coming 
	to FreeBSD from both Linux and microsoft enviroments.
