Oh :-( I'm a bit too newbie for that but some others might pipe in. A few newbies have mentioned being interested in learning C, and I came up with an idea for doing it on line but haven't filled in all the details yet. If you're intending to learn C, especially if you'll be teaching yourself, take a peek at http://www.welearn.com.au/freebsd/StudyGroup/ in a couple of hours and let me know what you think. Learning C isn't really a FreeBSD topic, but it's a closely related interest of many newbies. Write to me off the list if you want to discuss the details or tell me why it won't work. -- Regards, -*Sue*- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
