Thanks. > >The URL is http://www.gnj.or.jp/FreeBSD Well! I really have to say that I wish more people showed this kind of initiative! :) This looks to be a very promising start.. There's only one small problem, of course, which is that once the number of Q&A entries pass 100 or so the "flat" model that Michael's using here is going to become pretty difficult to get through when you want to find the answer to some arbitrary question. Clearly, some sort of categorization then becomes necessary. We're working on centralizing this task in the FreeBSD Doc Project, and rather than have 10 little lists like this maybe we should all try to create one big one with a nice hierarchical organization? I by no means wish to discourage folks like Michael here, and if that's too much trouble then I'd be more than happy to see 10 little lists than nothing at all, it just seems sad to duplicate effort if we can somehow manage instead to get all of this into one really well done FAQ and then let people put copies of it wherever they like. If interested, send mail to doc@FreeBSD.org! Thanks! -- Jordan
