(First, I'd like to request that freebsd-chat be removed from the headers of replies. This is a freebsd-newbies discussion, and newbies might not realise that posting to several lists at once is generally discouraged. FreeBSD-chat is mostly for non-FreeBSD chat that spills over from the technical lists where it becomes off topic there.)

When you join -newbies you get a brief run-down, and then the FAK is posted once a week.

All you need to do is send me ideas for change, and it'll be done. I've mentioned this to newbies over and over. Nobody has ever done so!! We do need to have a central starting point for newbies on the FreeBSD web site. While I've received many notes of appreciation, the support for this, in terms of contributions suggestions or ideas, has been consistently underwhelming. You guys have to learn that you are not consumers. You get what you want by collaborating on it and then getting up and _doing_ it, or at least helping out those who are already doing stuff. This is the real world. You don't have no Mummy round no more. Live with it. Learn to thrive on it. -- Regards, -*Sue*- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
