Jordan, I think that this is a fantastic idea, lord knows I've done some hacking to FreeBSD to make it do things that I needed it to do. I've got 4 machines with 2.0, 2.1.5, 2.1.6 and 2.1.6 deployed with more on the way, and they work amazingly well (yes I've got to upgrade the 2.0 box, it is starting to show the signs of time). My point is that of TIME, perhaps if someone would be interested in acting as coordinator to all the sources of input, we could get the 'ISP's guide to FreeBSD' or should it be the 'FreeBSD guide for ISPs' off the ground! The news server chapter ought to make people wet their pants... Andrew Webster andrew@pubnix.net PubNIX Montreal Connected to the world Branche au monde P.O.
