Not having much success with Debian Linux, I downloaded FreeBSD 3.2 and now have a running config, with a stable XFree86 server. I like Unix, and I want more experience with it, but the online information isn't arranged in any order and there isn't a clear path to follow. I want to know what to study, what to know first, and what to learn next. I don't have a CS degree and I'm not an engineer, but I have no fear of the hard-to-do. What I'm afraid of is running in circles, which is what I'm doing right now. Can anyone point me to an online resource, online class, or give me his best outline? How do I lay a stable foundation, a body of knowledge to build upon? Eric Saylor To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
