Since Jordan and Greg read this group also, I would like to make this comment. The one thing I will hand to the Linux crowd is the HOWTO pages on their website. While we have a pretty decent set of help pages on our side. As a FreeBSD newbie (1.2 years) I have found some things rather difficult to track down. I propose that we spend some time porting their HOWTO pages to FreeBSD website. I'm sure the lack of documentation on how to do things is due to the fact that most of us aren't 14 year olds or in college. So, we don't have a lot of time on our hands to write documentation. We have to document enough stuff at work. How bad do you think that would piss those guys off? I'm not talking about down right copying either. I'm talking about using their stuff as a frame work to see what is needed by the general public in terms of documentation for tasks.
