Maybe you should change the name of the list to "freebsd-chat".
there already is a freebsd-chat. it is a place for more experienced users to hangout and talk.
The name "freebsd-newbies" gives me to understand that I, as beginner, could ask questions and they might be answered by a more seasoned veteran. As you can see, the demand is here.
hhmm.....did you read the list charter that accompanied the list announcement?
FREEBSD-NEWBIES
This list is a gathering place for people new to FreeBSD. Please feel free to share your experiences with others on this list.
I used to be a subscriber to "frebsd-questions" and received an average of 120 messages per day, but 95% are useless to me, because I didn't understand what the talk was about. I don't know what questions are not allowed in freebsd-questions, but noticed that newbies are used for laughing stock on this list.
things can get a little rough on freebsd-questions, but ont be so thin-skinned ;) hence you can ask first on freebsd-newbies. if no one knows the answer, then pipe up on freebsd-questions.
but really. there is no need to be afraid to ask. we were (are) all newbies to FreeBSD at one time.
if freebsd-question is too much mail, try the digest version. freebsd-questions-digest
As for me, I don't run FreeBSD yet. But this could be a great mailing list to evaluate the product and ask stupid questions without being laughed at.
One last remark. I noticed that every FreeBSD mailing list has an attitude proplem. I'm not surprised that people buy Windowze and point and click away.
i dont believe that freebsd is so well known that people consider using it and *then* opt for windows. perhaps they buy a computer and voila, windos is already installed....never occurs to them they could install something else.
what do ya think? jmb
