Suggestions? Name-calling? (No obscenities, please, > unless they're *very* creative.) This is something I've been mulling over myself. Both the last two tech support jobs I've worked had a complete searchable database.

If we could do something similar that would be great. I'd love to help with this project, just my programming skills are um... not up to par... :) Rick ******************************************************************* Rick's FreeBSD Web page http://heorot.1nova.com/freebsd Ace Logan's Hardware Guide http://www.shatteredcrystal.net/hardware ***FreeBSD - The Power to Serve! http://www.freebsd.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
