You experts probably wonder why I am using FreeBSD 5.0 instead of
FreeBSD 5.1... That's because I am a newbie and I got a book that teaches me
how to use FreeBSD 5.0. I prefer sticking to it and learn most of the
stuff before I go on to a newer version.So if anyone knows what's going
on, please reply! Thanks!!! :D
Have a nice day!!!
