Does = "technical discussions" mean help ? #freebsdhelp is for "technical = discussions" that involve other people helping you. #freebsd is a = channel for freebsd people to talk about shit, only some of which is = about freebsd, and none of which is dealing with help questions. There = are two channels, if you don't like one or the other or both, deal with = it without acting like a child. =20 The FreeBSD FAQ states loud and clear: Channel #FreeBSD on EFNet is a FreeBSD forum, but don't go there for = tech support or to try and get folks there to help you avoid the pain of = reading man pages or doing your own research. It is a chat channel, = first and foremost, and topics there are just as likely to involve sex, = sports or nuclear weapons as they are FreeBSD. You Have Been Warned! = Available at server irc.chat.org If you can't be bothered to read the FAQ then tough ****. As for a FreeBSD Channel other than those two FreeBSD channels, one = again if you would READ THE FAQ it states: 14. Are there FreeBSD IRC (Internet Relay Chat) channels? Yes, most major IRC networks host a FreeBSD chat channel: a.. Channel #FreeBSD on EFNet is a FreeBSD forum, but don't go there = for tech support or to try and get folks there to help you avoid the = pain of reading man pages or doing your own research. It is a chat = channel, first and foremost, and topics there are just as likely to = involve sex, sports or nuclear weapons as they are FreeBSD. You Have = Been Warned! Available at server irc.chat.org. b.. Channel #FreeBSDhelp on EFNet is a channel dedicated to helping = FreeBSD users. They are much more sympathetic to questions then #FreeBSD = is. c.. Channel #FreeBSD on DALNET is available at irc.dal.net in the US = and irc.eu.dal.net in Europe. d.. Channel #FreeBSD on UNDERNET is available at us.undernet.org in = the US and eu.undernet.org in Europe. Since it is a help channel, be = prepared to read the documents you are referred to. e.. Channel #FreeBSD on HybNet is available at irc.FreeBSD.org. This = channel is a help channel. Each of these channels are distinct and are not connected to each other. = Their chat styles also differ, so you may need to try each to find one = suited to your chat style. As with *all* types of IRC traffic, if you're = easily offended or can't deal with lots of young people (and more than a = few older ones) doing the verbal equivalent of jello wrestling, don't = even bother with it. I just get sick and tired of this attitude like you have a right to have = people help you and a right to tell other people how to run their = channel. If you don't like #freebsd on EFNet and you're not willing to = read the damn FAQ, then start your own EFNet FreeBSD channel and run it = as you see fit.
