--SUOF0GtieIMvvwua Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hey guys, I'm a first year CS student at Manchester and I've been given the task of writing a 1,000 word essay on something computer-related. It can be pretty much anything I want (I think). I've decided FreeBSD is interesting, the OS I advocate and that I shall write about this. I am planning to write a brief history of the four BSDs, going way back in time (probably a few words on Ritchie, etc.) but then concentrate on FreeBSD. I'm really asking if anybody can suggest any particularly interesting topics that I can go away and research and then include in my essay. I guess since it's only a short essay I can't have /too/ much detail and I didn't particularly want to try and explain something /very/ complicated (although please suggest just the same ;). Somebody already suggested ``man hier'' but I'm not sure that's really technical enough, and problably not particularly specific to FreeBSD. Thanks very much -- any and all suggestions are very welcome :) -lewiz. --=20 I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now. --Bob Dylan, 1964. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -| msn:purple@lewiz.net | jabber:lewiz@jabber.org | url:www.lewiz.org |- --SUOF0GtieIMvvwua Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE/soOPItq0KFQv7T8RAiBNAJ9yoq2W9qmwva2dYNmyBoGwVIBJawCgl9B/ R1faYcCHPeUfNZRbw2712Lc= =TXym -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --SUOF0GtieIMvvwua--
