A better idea would be to e-mail the freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org
or the freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing lists (and don't forget
to subscribe yourself to them too), *especially* when testing out
alphas or betas of a major release like 2.0.5. Jordan and the rest of
the core team scan those lists daily and are quick to reply to any
problems. The amount of traffic on the freebsd-hackers list alone has
been about four or five times this newsgroup over the past several
days (at least at my site).
Send a message to majordomo@freebsd.org with either the message
(not subject header!) "subscribe freebsd-hackers" or "subscribe
freebsd-questions".
