I like to check the web pages at the Freebsd URL often.
One thing I have noticed is the lack of suggested features
in the next release. I could not find info on when the next
release is for that matter.

I don't spend much time using Freebsd yet, but I usually like
to check the web pages to see when the next version is.
I am hoping the next version will be even easier to use/learn
than the current.

One thing I was thinking was why not have a "help" shell script
which could call lynx with the manual pages instead of telling
newbies like myself type "lynx  xyz\some_long_path\manua.html"
