Ok, right I want to do like on BeOS www.be.com They have implanted on there web site, to support people, a BUG "Be User Group" And its very cool because when you do a BUG, its an help for all people of that town. I have currently my own FUG (Freebsd User Group)but I want than www.freebsd.org create a page where would be 1: how to create a FUG and register it 2: list of FUG by town or states or province... FUG is just a central place for people in one town where they can have help and all of that stuff. for more information and models of user group, see http://www.be.com/usergroups/index.html For the manual, I just want to create something who do not talk about harware: just admin and getting started with command like "ls" "pwd" and more advanced stuff with a *lot* of exemple really made for newbie. For the last, I need a shell or someone with a bot or W or X on undernet. Someone wana help? I'm open minded so, lets talk about it.
