[-- Attachment #1 --] Pats on the back all round folks. . . N ----- Forwarded message from Shaun <senmonk6@yahoo.com> ----- Date: Wed, 27 Feb 2002 22:03:22 -0500 To: Johnson David <djohnson@acuson.com> From: Shaun <senmonk6@yahoo.com> Subject: Re: FreeBSD Cc: freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org That was very well put. I completely agree. I also sympathize with the frustrations of the "core." I am what you might call an intermediate user, who switched from Linux. The main reason that I choose FreeBSD over the other flavors was the extensive documentation and mailing list archive. I have not yet had one thing that I needed to post to a list that I didn't find somewhere else. Much gratitude goes towards the few who run everything.
