There are several websites people have put together for Ubuntu that show every little step for configuring Ubuntu, is there such a page for FreeBSD? For example, tonight I installed Firefox, and wanted to install Acrobat, Flash, Realplayer, and Java. I was able to find Acrobat and Flash by using Google (the solution was at bsdforums.org). Realplayer and Java I still need to find. Here is an example of a really useful Ubuntu page: http://ubuntuguide.org The "Add-On Applications" is especially useful for people who have just don= e an install, and want their machine to be a "desktop" machine. It just seems like the only way to find out things for FreeBSD is to ask on the lists, or Google a list archive. It would be really great if there was a "super-page" that had all the common add-ons. I use Fluxbox instead of GNOME or KDE, so I prefer generic solutions. I've been keeping notes as I play with FreeBSD, and will eventually put up such a page if no one beats me to it. I'm still a FreeBSD nooby though, so it might take me a while. There are some people here that bascially know how to do everything with FreeBSD, I guess I'm hoping they will put something together (or maybe help me).
