Ok. I'm going to wad in here with a middle of the road response. I've read all the posts in this thread. I've been with Freebsd since Christmas of last year. It was my chose of os for my alpha server prodject(not finished yet don't ask.). Since then I've loaded it on a desktop and a laptop. I've found it to be a better os then linux which I loaded on my fileserver to act as a fileserver one time got it running and never touched agien. I think the ppl that are around it have a differnt veiw then the linux crowd and are less arrogant if anything. I like hanging out with the guys in #Bsdhelp and chating and playing quake and making friends. They have been very helpful. When I asked about why my RAID (alpha server agien) wasn't working I got a nice email from the guy that supports all that stuff and he talked to me. And at first I have to admit the response was " is it EISA? that's not supported" when I wrote back to him I showed I'd done some of my homework and read the stuff he'd wrote we had a nice conversation and I got some idea's . (reformat before trying load the os). The hand book I bought from my local computer store I thought was great. The only thing I miss in the paper hand book is an index. (older hand book new one may have index). I also bought from Amazon.com The complete Freebsd. I do computer support for a living so I know it's value to have some paper books to read in bed and on the john you may find what you need by mistake. ----- Original Message ----- From: TheUaRT <theuart@hotmail.com> To: <freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Wednesday, February 27, 2002 9:40 AM Subject: FreeBSD > I am a newbie to FreeBSD (2nd attempt) but not to computers. > I've always stood for people helping others learn current/new > technologies to it's maximum potential...
