The way I see it, freebsd-newbies is a META-questions list, i.e. a list where one can ask "where should I ask this or that question?". It is also a list where people relatively new to Unix or FreeBSD can post their messages of success. Things like "hey guys, I finally managed to get my User-PPP going, by doing .. blah blah". -- Giorgos Keramidas, < keramida @ ceid . upatras . gr > For my public PGP key: finger keramida@diogenis.ceid.upatras.gr PGP fingerprint, phone and address in the headers of this message.
