Maybe half a dozen pages of carefully selected reference info. FreeBSD URLs of course, but also things like an abridged vi reference (I'd prefer ed, actually), a list of those IP addresses that anyone can use, which branch to follow and why(not), that BSD genealogy diagram, and a whole lot of things I don't know about but should. Don't forget the audience is international. Make this section useful enough, and the rest entertaining enough, and it'll even be worth buying for those poor souls who still suffer some other kind of unix. -- Regards, -*Sue*- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
