Hello, I'm writing an article for Sys Admin magazine called "FreeBSD for the System V/Linux administrator." Sadly, my usual SysV/Linux guru has been wholly consumed by the randomly ravenous monster that is independent consulting. I'm hereby putting out a plea for vaguely literate people who can give this article a technical review from both the FreeBSD side, and the SysV side. I'd especially appreciate anyone who switched to FreeBSD somewhat recently, or who administers both SysV/Linux and FreeBSD. The article is aimed at the competent SysV/Linux admin who needs to administer a FreeBSD box. It covers basic things like, where do you set system defaults, ports & packages, kernel compilation, and getting help. It's only about 2k words long. The catch is, they want a finished article by next Wednesday. I'd need any commentary by Monday night. I only need (at most) two or three people, so please don't feel bad if my mailbox gets flooded and I say "no, thanks"; it's not personal. (Having said this, of course, the innate perversity of the universe will make me get no replies. ;) There is no guarantee that this article will be accepted; they approved the proposal, but they can decide to kill it upon delivery. Such is the life of the freelance writer. If it is accepted, it will appear in the March issue.
