Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I currently am the Sys Admin for a small I.S.P. (medt.com). We hired an outside tech to setup our site and get things running. Since then I have attempted to learn all I can about Freebsd. But I have fallen short. So I decided that my main prob was that I didn't have a machine at home running FreeBSD that I could tinker with, without worrying about Nuking our main server. Well, now I have FreeBSD running at home but I am still getting nowhere. I have a good understanding of Dos and Windows but I have learned that that really doesn't mean much, and have been around computers for about 15 years but much of this escapes me. The system hierarchy to me is so chaotic that I have trouble knowing where anything is. Is there a forum or List server that I could join that deals with lost newbies like me? Tcraig Medt.com Sys.
