Don't dismiss Linux resources just because you've chosen FreeBSD.
It's similar enough to FBSD, at least on the newbie level.
Linux users IMO are more inclined to be of real help and more tolerant
of the "hobby"/non guru type users. (no flames please, just my own
experience.) For every reply to a message you get in this NG, you'll
get 5 in a Linux NG. There's also *much* more information about Linux
than FBSD. http://www.linux.org
