To all, I just wanted to let you know that (while I happen to think my article is *wonderfully* written - grin), I consider your complaints about a lack of BSD-related resources in our resources section 100% valid. Although I've run FreeBSD and BSDI and value them very highly, I spend most of my time in Linux, therefore my familiarity with Linux is much greater. It was easy for me to throw together a list of Linux-related resources, and it was only due to lack of time, energy, and the occasional need for sleep that I was unable to research BSD links before submitting the article. ;) I've requested my friend and coworker Brett Glass (who is a big proponent and user of BSD) to send me a list of useful BSD-related resources, which I will have added to the section. If any of you want to contribute links you think would be valuable to readers of that article, please send them to me (nick@wpi.com) and I'll pick a subset and submit them to be added to the article. Speaking of Brett, be sure to visit his site, http://www.ymmv.com - I think you'll find it very valuable reading. And don't forget to visit our sister sites www.javaworld.com, and www.sunworld.com, and www.ne-dev.com. -Nick Petreley Editor in chief, NC World (http://www.ncworldmag.com) -----Original Message----- From: dannyman <dannyman@dannyland.org> To: Jordan K.
