Well used but poorly named. Where perchance would you expect a newbie 
look for info on FreeBSD, in comp.os.linux? The first step is to get 
a group or groups that at least have good names. Adding more groups 
later is trivial, so the argument that there aren't enough new groups
under the RFD is specious.

Tell you what, next time you do the RFD instead of standing in the
sidelines tossing darts.
