Look for the weekly post by "grog" (Greg Lehey) about > getting the best out of freebsd-questions (it can also be found in the > online archives), it's quite useful. Good points... The posting by Greg is also available online as an official FreeBSD `article' at: http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/freebsd-questions/ So you don't have to dig into the archives or wait for it to reappear in the mailing list to read and enjoy it. To the original poster: ``Welcome to -chat, and we'll also be happy to have you in -questions :-)'' - Giorgos
