He is considering to change the OS because of the lack of in-house knowlege. I am thinking on offering to go to their office and show him and his team the basics. Their background is Novell Netware and Windows 2K. Any guestimate how much time I should ask of them? They are 4, including my friend; I believe they are all senior network admins. I think the first time would be just to give them a tour and show them where things are stored and some of the basic commands and files they would need to know. Tonight I could not talk much with him because he came for a a dinner with my wife and sister in law and they looked at me very mean when I talked computers... :-) In the mean time I lent him my copy of the Complete FreeBSD 4th Edition.
