Folks
[ Originally I only sent this to -questions and -newbies. Several people
thought it was worthwhile bringing -chat in on the action as well ]
I'm in the process of compiling a new datafile for the fortune(6) program.
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.
The current list is at
http://people.freebsd.org/~nik/freebsd.fortune
Anything FreeBSD related is fair game.
