Okay, from what I understand is that there are a bunch of newbies wanting to write manuals. Right? I just want to make sure if it's newbies wanting to write manuals, or newbies wanting advanced users to write manuals *for* newbies. Would be ridiculous for a newbie (assuming that the newbie doesn't know anything) to actually sit down and write a manual or something. Anyways, I support a project for writing simple manual pages and docs. Step by Step how-to's are also important. It's not also important for the advanced users to write simple stuff for newbies, but for corporations as well. Let's imagine a world where corporations can adopt freebsd as their intranet server based on the fact that it's easy to use and *free*. A world where people won't choose Windows NT over FreeBSD or Linux, or whatever just because it's a simple point and click thing. Actually, with the right window manager, Linux or FreeBSD can be a point and click OS. KDE is doing a hell of a job at doing that. For your newbies coming from a windows world, once you get X figured out try using KDE. Go to www.kde.org for all the info and stuff. bear =================================================== Joseph Garcia Downey, CA bear@pacificnet.net "Dont drink and drive, you might spill the beer." =================================================== To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
