We get several new FreeBSD users from other OS's where newsgroups are the primary source of help. There is a handful of people who try to answer questions. My answers usually include pointers to the mailing list archives, Handbook, and Tutorials. Perhaps, a cron job could post a text version of the FAQ once a month (or two) to comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.announce. -- Steve To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
