If nothing in there, then join the > freebsd-questions list. Good advice. Actually its not necessary to join the freebsd-questions mailing list to post a question to there. Typically, you will be copied on any responses to your question. Its also a high-volume list so I prefer to read it online: http://docs.freebsd.org/mail/current/freebsd-questions.html Most all of the lists can be read online if you don't care to have all the email. Lots of tips and information can be had just by following the lists casually on subjects that interest you. Another resource to check before posting a question is the mailing list archives: http://www.freebsd.org/search/search.html#mailinglists I've found that many questions have been asked before and answered. Just be watchful on how old the information is. It might be relevant only to an older version of FreeBSD. Hope this helps make finding information a little easier.
