Really basic information like is very useful, but I don't think it belongs in the FBSD documentation. The FreeBSD docs should be about FreeBSD and included software. "Server" is a very basic term, and I don't think the docs need to cover it. A glossary with basic terms like this defined will more than double the size of the handbook. FreeBSD should have complete documentation for newbies to the system, but at the same time I think it should demand some level of computer literacy. -- David Johnson To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
