Hi, everyone!

I have been a lurker for quite some time, with a
few questions to the -questions mailing list here
and there.  Mostly, I just read, make my own
mistakes, and muddle through them.

I was just reading a request for help on the
newbies list and I realized that I understood
what was wrong by the error message!  Not that I
know the answer, but I understood the error
message.  That was a big surprise for me.... it
means I understand (finally!) the
disk/partition/slice naming conventions.  I
thought I'd never get that.  lol

I slowly graduated from Windows to Linux over a 2
year period, and now I am graduating from Linux
to FreeBSD... I have Windows 2000 Pro, Linux
Mandrake 9.1 and FreeBSD 5.0 on my system, and I
am finding less and less use for Windows or Linux
and spending more and more time having a blast
figuring out FreeBSD lately.

At this point, all I have left to get figured out
is my ATAPI CD burner, printing with CUPS, and
how to install and run NeverWinter Nights.  Since
I really haven't even tried any of those three,
I'll just wait until I have given it my best shot
before I ask for help.  But I must say...

I LOVE FreeBSD!!!

I used to love Linux... but then I started
running into difficulties as I outgrew the point
and click we'll-do-everything-for-you interface. 
It was dependency hell that made me turn to
FreeBSD for a solution, and I am thrilled.  I am
sure some other distros besides Mandrake would
fit my needs better than Mandrake does, but why
should I go for unix-like when I can just get BSD
and have it be more stable and even easier to use
and reliable to boot!

Just loving PortUpgrade and Make Buildworld/Make
Buildkernel.  This is the good life.  :)

Shannon
