However, instead of consisting of witty quotes, Murphy's Laws, and the like, this is going to be tips for FreeBSD that can appear when people log in. Things like % Want colour in your directory listings? Use "ls -G". "ls -F" is also useful, and they can be combined as "ls -FG". % I need your contributions. If you've got any tips and hints for FreeBSD, please send them to me. Try and keep them short and sweet, and please make sure that the subject starts "TIP" so that I can easily find them. Once I've got 30 or 40 I'll commit this to the tree so that people can start to benefit from it.
