hello siju i understand that u've already mastered the linux sys-admin and networking. well bsd is very similar to linux. i would say that there are more resources available for bsd than those available for linux. i am not aware of any bsd forums in india. but you could post your ques @ www.freebsdforums.org also u'll find plenty info @ www.freebsd.org.
incase ur looking for something specific or if you could let me know ur areas of problems i'll try my best to solve them if they r in my capacity. cheers -- Alpesh Software Engineer In-Reality Software Pvt Ltd On Thu, 2004-07-22 at 15:47, Siju George wrote: > Dear people at linux-india.org.
