Hrm... how about this... since the web wite is donated by WC anyways... why not use the writeup that is in the catalog? We could put in BIG letters that this is the opnion of WC and not the FreeBSD camp ( although I am not sure who wrote the original ). > > Mabey even a more direct route? And re: A more direct route... I was thinking that having sub links under "The FreeBSD Documentation Project" with FAQ and/or handbook may make it easier for the average layman to find when surfing ( and then posting using the mailto: ) so that they can find their own answers to their questions. The Number of repeated questions lately has just about tripled... including and not limited to : BSD vs. Linux ( a favorite )? Is SMP ( Dual Processors ) supported? Will FreeBSD run on my new octium machine with 14 MB... etc. etc.. etc... etc.... So the focus of this thread is " Is there a way to better inform visitors to the Home Pages so that they might find the answers without posting to the questions list? " ( biggie .. ain't it ;-) -branson -branson -- ======================================================================== branson matheson | branson@widomaker.com Ferguson SysAdmin | http://widomaker.com/~branson
