Sorry if I ran into the Big Boys forum crying. I will be more cautious about
what I ask next time. Is there a forum for people who are starting out with
OpenBSD? The thing is I am new to it and I am in a situation where reading
pages and pages of Google is taking a lot of time away from making it work.
But just working a few days with this OS I can see that its very solid and
worth the many hours of searching for documentation.
If you are new, then start by reading the most excellent FAQ, all of it,
and it will take you less time then searching Google for hours. It's the
place to start. Then if you wan to know more about a special function,
the man page are more then excellent.
The difference you will find here on OpenBSD is that the developers are
spending an incredible amount of time to make excellent man page and as
you will see in the FAQ, if the man page is not exact, or represent
what's the system is doing, that is consider a bug and they will fix it
right away.
As for the FAQ, Nick is really a hero if you asked me for the quality of
the FAQ that he put together and how well he keeps it up to.
So, forget about Google for now and start with the FAQ, then the man
page and if you have a very good question after that, then Google is
your friend.
You may simply not be use to a system that also have the quality of the
documentation equal to it's own source.
OpenBSD is second to none when it comes to documentations.
Try it, you will see.
Best of luck,
Daniel
