<snip> : > I installed everything and on my first boot I come to this message(after logging on) : : : Congratulations! Your installed FreeBSD system is waiting for your commands! : : It is pretty common to be confused at this point if you're new to unix. : (When I first reached this point I reinstalled, numerous times :-) : Go to the www.freebsd.org site, follow the "Newbies" link, and read : there to see what's available and where to go from this point. : : Your question is a typical question for freebsd-newbies. Here we point : you to documentation and other ways to get info and support, help you : to ask support questions more effectively on the freebsd-questions : list, offer advice whenever you think that your newbie needs aren't : being met by the resources you've found, and listen to your suggestions : for improvement. We also chat newbie to newbie about nontechnical : stuff, too. Because this is a newbies-only (almost) discussion list, : you should not believe any technical advice you're given on -newbies! : : For actual support, problems, installation and how-to questions, write : to freebsd-questions@freebsd.org instead. You don't have to subscribe : to freebsd-questions first. : : You're at the most exciting stage now. : Do come back and let us know how you got on! </snip> This has to be the most compelling reason why I would change to FreeBSD. Sue, if the various *nix projects had a few more like you in their ranks, M****soft wouldn't stand a snowball's chance in Hades. Your wonderfully supportive and encouraging email has finally convinced me to take the plunge and install FreeBSD after lurking here (and freebsd-questions) for ages in semi-terror :-) Well done. /wiZZ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
