Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.88e Sender: owner-freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org What would make things easier and more pleasant for people who try FreeBSD for the first time? Is there something you wished for when you started but couldn't find? What did you find that you really liked? Are there problems that only newbies have, that could be addressed somehow? If you had a magic wand, what would you like to see added, removed, or improved? We did discuss this a bit before but I think it's worth exploring it in more depth, now that there's a lot of talk about promoting FreeBSD. It's one thing to attract people to FreeBSD, but what else could we be offering them once they arrive? Newbies are the experts here, so first see how many ideas you can come up with. Even if they are impossible ideas they could inspire someone else to think of something, so don't hold back. Later on we can pick out the important ones and look at how to implement them, but let's just get the ideas flowing first. -- Regards, -*Sue*- find / -name "*.conf" |more To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
