I think this is a great idea. There are lots of questions here that aren't flagged as "not really about BSD" that would fit into such. My suggestion would be: FreeBSD-questions: questions about things found on the FreeBSD ftp servers (problems, what to use, etc). FreeBSD-applications: questions about software running on FreeBSD that came from elsewhere. Some things would still cross over. Your question (what can I use to print labels?) would fit -applications fine. Others, like "where do I get a web server" could go to either, as /usr/ports/www is a perfect answer. Thanx,
