Ireland. | You appear to have signed up for the digest version of the list. This means that you'll receive one big message daily rather than however many individual messages are sent. The -newbies list tends to be very quiet, so it's not surprising that you haven't been getting much else (though I could swear people have been talking on this list in the last 2 weeks, but I could be wrong). Feel free to try to start a conversation. Most technical questions should be taken to the freebsd-questions@freebsd.org list, but if you are looking for just helpful hints or advice feel free to ask here. (Also, while technical questions will be redirected to the -questions list, it's not like you'll get thrown off the list for asking them.)
