That's certainly the logic I followed when I requested the link, and probably the logic most will follow when they're looking for help. I guess it depends on if you want things listed in the tutorial section that aren't in the FreeBSD CVS tree (at least for now). I vote to allow the links on the documentation page. I know at least for my stuff, it will eventually make its way into the CVS tree where anyone can check it out, etc.. I'ts just not in there right now during the early development stages. That said, a link on the support page is appreciated as well.. I just think it will be easier for new users if they find the links with the rest of the documentation. cya, -Mark > > As an analogy, go to your friendly neighborhood Government > Document Depository library and try to find stuff.
