Hi Paul,
Just wanted to say that I am reading as much as I can. UNIX books, freeBSD handbook, websites, manpages, etc. I am 47, have 5 daughters, and work 2 jobs, none of which have anything to do with computers. I bought my first computer in 1998(they had no computer classes when i was in school). I have just gotten interested in learning BSD. Linux would have been okay too, but I read BSD was better. I came on this forum to get a little help when I get frustrated. I do not have all the time in the world for this. Wish i did sometimes. Its relaxing...LOL! Besides...here is better than getting bitched at in #freebsdhelp to go read. Thanks for the suggestions though.

From time to time we've heard about "mean-ness" (if you will) on IRC channels. They aren't official, AAMOF. On the other hand, this list is. This is not to say that you might not occasionally get "gritched at" on this list, but generally (notice all these qualifying words) it's not much of an issue, particularly if you can take the time to do enough research to ask a good question. Eric Raymond wrote a classic tome on this:

BTW, welcome to FreeBSD! Be sure and write back when you have specific questions.
