Hi Steve,
Several years back I was lead-writer on the "AnswerMan" help
column. It was directed mostly at new users of the BSD's and
aimed primarily at FreeBSD. We published several tutorial-like
Q's and A's bi-monthly. Were heading into our 7th year before
the column fell apart.
Long-story-short, all the contributors gave permission to re-use
the contents, so feel free to google up the stuff and use what you
deem usable.
cheers,
gary kline
