I don't think it's a problem, as long as www.best.com continues to run FreeBSD. Lucky for you they do now: gdi,ttyp2,~,67>telnet www.best.com Trying 206.184.139.14... Connected to www.best.com.

You're in my boat. You can ask in hackers@freebsd.org for programming bits. Or, we need document writers and support people as much as programmers! Check out the Handbook and freebsd-doc@freebsd.org mailing list for how to help with documentation. Tune into the freebsd-questions@freebsd.org list or the newsgroup comp.os.unix.freebsd.misc (?) for first-line support. Your pascal will help you for structure but not for programming; Unix uses pretty much exclusively C, not even much assember except for kernel bits. Hope this helps!
