[-- Attachment #1 --] ----- Original Message ----- From: Lyman Bradford To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Sent: Tuesday, August 22, 2000 12:54 PM An anarchist website that I was reading over had a link to this FreeBSD website (http://www.freebsd.org). I followed that link and here I am. I am a Windows 98 user with no real understanding of how a computer actually operates. I have owned my PC for a few years now and am able to access the internet, make webpages, create images in photoshop, among other things. But when I looked over the FreeBSD FAQ 'everything' was greek to me. What is FreeBSD and why is it valuable to anarchists? FreeBSD is very valuable to anarchists in many ways. To be able to use FreeBSD you must understand a little about how your computer works. When the anarchists win and the government falls and society collapses and all the people on the help desks nationwide are dead, knowing how the computer works will be a great asset to any self-deserving anarchist. Can an average PC user take advantage of such a resource? No....FreeBSD requires an above-avarage user. Josh I thank you in advance for your time.
