It does need some updating and stuff. And some nice features added, such as a User Group registry. Considering everything is so centralized with FreeBSD, maybe a FreeBSD experienced user can outline a course of study, or rules for asking help on freebsd-questions, or whatever, for User Groups to abide by in order to learn on FreeBSD. I'm still pushing for a FreeBSD magazine. Hell, even an online magazine would be cool, something ike www.linuxgazette.com Could be www.freebsdjournal.com or some crap like that. Know what I mean?
