Everything starts somewhere. When I wrote my first FreeBSD article a few years ago, I had no idea where it would lead. Keep it up, and the Project might well ask you to make it an official FreeBSD resource. If you start now, in a few months you'll have patchsets for 4.2-R, 4.3-R, 4.4-R, and 4.5-R. That looks like a pretty serious investment of time and/or dedication to me. It's cliche, but: ten thousand lines of code begins with the first #define. (Hmmmm.... click click click... okay, style(9) says it should be the first #include. But you get the idea.) ==ml -- Michael Lucas mwlucas@FreeBSD.org, mwlucas@blackhelicopters.org http://www.blackhelicopters.org/~mwlucas/ Big Scary Daemons: http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/q/Big_Scary_Daemons To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
