Just touching the newbie base. I have done the windows 95/98 networking thingy, and have played with linux in the past. I have no formal computer training, just dealing with windoze crashes. A plus point is that I haven't tossed a computer out the window yet. A buddy recommended BSD as opposed to the supplied ZoneAlarm (ack), and win2000 networking. So I am going to build a computer dedicated to BSD and have at it. If it comes together the way my buddy says it will (that Unix is a wee bit easier to understand than Linux), then I will be on my way to actually feeling like I have accomplished something. Thanks for everyones effort into BSD, and thanks for the wealth of information on your web site.
