You probably haven't had a chance to read the list charters yet (http://www.freebsd.org/eresources:charters.html) so this might help. If you have any questions about FreeBSD, send them to freebsd-questions@freebsd.org. All questions from everyone are handled in that mailing list. If it needs a more specialised answer, they will direct you to help from there. We particularly avoid installation and how-to stuff here and just concentrate on the important business of chatter and fun that would get in the way in the support list. We only help each other use the mailing lists and find documentation etc. Sometimes we get involved in activities like reviewing documentation from a newbie perspective. For best results, before writing to freebsd-questions, check that you've used the available resources to solve it yourself and then let them know what you've tried. For more ideas on getting help, see http://www.welearn.com.au/freebsd/newbies You might find http://www.freebsd.org/projects/newbies.html a handy starting point as well. Don't forget to come back here and tell us about yourself and your system later on! :-) -- Regards, -*Sue*- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
