I am the fool who wrote that "Babe in the Woods" article posted on Ofb.biz. I really didn't mean to rattle anyone's cage, just show that it was all within reach of the persistent fool, and well worth it. As a virtual outsider, I have plunged headfirst into FreeBSD and found what I've wanted most of the time in my search for FreeBSD on the desktop. I have no ambition to ever do any networking beyond Internet connectivity. In fact, I am doomed forever to use dialup because of my geographic location. I have returned to running FreeBSD on my "new" machine and am not likely to ever leave off using FreeBSD again. Now I am producing articles targeted specifically at users in my own category: folks who can't comprehend half the man pages, know and care little about serious networking, just wanting the best OS in the world for the desktop. I have posted them for technical proof-reading at a couple of BSD forums (Screaming Electron and BSD Hound) and gotten a few corrections. As with anything Open Source, I invite anyone to publish them anywhere. I can't write code, but I believe I am a fair hand at tutorials. As I get them coded for HTML, I post them on my personal website, mentioned in my sig. If there is even the smallest liklihood anyone would like to include them in the "official" docs collection, I would be happy to submit them for review. Am I in?
