I am recently thinking about switching from RedHat Linux to *BSD. There seems to be some lack of information for some first faq Linux users ask when thinking about BSD (differences, device names, packagesetc). In de.comp.os.unix.bsd, there were three threads with similar content in the first three weeks of november. One user of this group, Christian Weisgerber, wrote an article "BSD: Linux with a twist", that can be found at http://sites.inka.de/mips/unix/bsdlinux.html. I consider this article to contain lots of "newbie" information Linux users may ask for, so you might add this article to the FAQ or documentation links at your website; I asked the author`s permission before submitting this mail. He will not maintain the document to be up to date, though. If you add the link to your sites, please drop him a note to naddy@mips.inka.de. Regards, -- H. P.
