Apparently you were interested enough to post. > Most of us come from Linux That is a rather illogical view don't you think? The majority of users of computers out there start out as Windows users, this is pretty well proven by innumerable marketing surveys. Therefore it stands to reason that of the newbiews to FreeBSD that Windows users, not Linux users, are going to be the majority, purely because of the numbers. Also I can't help but point out that my book covered the newbie coming into FreeBSD from WINDOWS not from LINUX. I very much doubt it would have been accepted for publication if it had assumed newbies to FreeBSD came from Linux, not Windows. Publishing is pretty much a numbers game. Ted
