To expand on this comment: No, I am not a beginner. I have run OpenBSD production servers since 2008. This is why I feel it is important.
I mostly use them as web servers & file servers (samba). I have felt like I needed to give back for some time, but was unsure if I am qualified. I did not intend to sow discord among this mailing list, and hope I haven't asked an unhelpful question. But thank you everyone for all of the suggestions. I will read them all carefully. -Jeremy On Sun, Nov 16, 2014 at 8:52 AM, andrew fabbro <and...@fabbro.org> wrote: > On Sat, Nov 15, 2014 at 9:50 PM, Ingo Schwarze <schwa...@usta.de> wrote: > >> > What about writing tutorials/articles? >> >> That is most definitely *not* a job for beginners. >> > > The thread starter did not describe himself as a "beginner," just a > non-programmer.
