Although there is #freebsd which I frequent, many very basic questions don't get answered or at times a flame starts up. I hope this can aliviate the problem. This is in no way to be construed as some type of competition for the existing channel #freebsd on the efnet. It would be nice if the new channels could be listed on a web page or in the handbook. If anything, it could help out people new to the FreeBSD operating system and it would also be good for FreeBSD's image with respect to support. I for one love FreeBSD (heh, just ordered the latest book by Greg Lehey, the newest CD, a few polo shirts and some tee shirts) but have had a hell of a time learning UNIX.
