I always had very good help from the variuos FreeBSD mailing lists, and I always saw expert or totally newby people being helped. The core is the core. Their job isn't helping users. Their job is providing us this hi-quality OS. Nonetheless, I saw many times core members helping people. Sometimes one forgets that FreeBSD is *FREE*, you don't pay for it. FreeBSD isn't a graphical front end to a pseudo OS, FreeBSD is a *real* OS, is Unix. The learning curve may be hard at the beginning (how do you say it in english, steep ?) but, once you see the light, you can do *everything* you want. Oh well, I'd have much more to say, but it has been said many times already. Read the handbook, read the FAQ, go get some good book on Unix, do your homework, be happy, enjoy the life :-) Thanks to all the folks who bring us this fantastic OS.
