Not many people speak Spanish here but I tried to learn it once. You would laugh at me, but my cat always purred when I practised :-) It's the world's best language for making jokes! The one about Gill Bates nearly made me drop my coffee :-) > You know, I'm a newbie because I've been istalling Free-BSD > since 15th of April (my PC only boots, that's a good goal).

That's the only book you need for FreeBSD itself, but if you're like most of us you need a really easy book to learn unix commands. Some time next week we'll have a Newbies Resources web page on the FreeBSD site, but meanwhile you can grab it from http://www.welearn.com.au/freebsd/newbies/resources.html It mentions some on line sources of info about learning unix, and has links to places where you can find a whole lot more. There are some good tutorials on line but get a unix book one day if you can. If you are unfamiliar with unix in general as well as FreeBSD, these things should help a lot. > I'm doing a hard work, because I'm studying Free-BSD alone, but > it's interesting 'cause I want to learn about networks (for my > career) and always UNIXs are the most estable System for that. Most of us newbies seem to be learning FreeBSD and unix alone too. At least we can come here and complain to each other now :-) And you already know that for networking you've made a great choice of operating system. Let us know how you get on! And if you find any more good info for learning (or Spanish computer jokes), share it with us :-) -- Regards, -*Sue*- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
