FreeBSD is very well documented, and perusal of the handbook ( http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html ), FAQs ( http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/index.html ), man pages (apropos and man) plus searches of the mailing lists (via the FreeBSD web site and Google) will answer most guestions. Willingless to experiment helps too. When those don't work, ask in -questions, where some helpful experts hang out. -- Adrian Wontroba Disclose classified information only when a NEED TO KNOW exists.
