The FreeBSD User Guide http://www.aei.ca/~malartre/freebsd/index.html Ok, I have followed the "just do it" way Jordan K. Hubbard want! After 15 day or hard work :-), I have got something acceptable. Just finished the "vi" part of that tutorial for new user. I was thinking than man page where dull, long and boring. but I started reading them and then, I writed interesting part of them in my document. Has you will probably see, most of the command have part of the man page which are very usefull. Even the vi man page is readable for a new user if I delete some part. I think there are many advantage to that document: -short and (I try) concise. -Just what the user want to know. No history, no background, no long explanation. -In the FAQ way: one question one answer. -screenshot. -screenshot viewable in lynx. -highly hierarchised Disadvantage: -The user don't see all a program/command's options-possibilities. -The user lack of background, history etc.. -my english really sucks ;-) I would like to have comment on that tutorial before I finish it (I already done 3/4 of the work), to know if someone is interested in the concept, and what modification should I do.
