Hello everybody: I have had FreeBSD 2.2.2 installed for about six months now, but hadn't been using it much until I got a new modem. I only joined the questions mailing list last week. Thanks to Sue Blake, I heard about this list. I doubt I would have found it browsing the FreeBSD.org web site. So freebsd-questions is just for technical questions relating to FreeBSD, and this is for everything else such as the frustrations and triumphs of the FreeBSD learning curve. First of all, I am really impressed with the dedication and quality of expertise shown by those who answer the questions in freebsd-questions. I was bowled over to actually get series of answers to my questions from the author of The Complete FreeBSD. I am overwhelmed by the volume of the mail I receive from the freebsd-questions list. I now have it filtered into its own mailbox, which I can empty from time to time. I barely have the time to read the titles of everything that comes in before deleting. I still feel that I might be missing something that I might be able to use later. I suppose I can always ask for help when I need it. I would welcome any advise or suggestions about managing the information overload. I have Windows 95 and FreeBSD installed on a Gateway 2000 133mHz machine with a 2gb hard drive. My next project is to add more RAM, install a second hard drive (4gb) and upgrade from 2.2.2 to 2.2.5. I have CDs for both. I need to keep Windows as I am taking C & C++ programming classes and writing and compiling for DOS or Windows. Anyway, it's great to be a newbie.
