I even think that there are more posts per day than mails on the FreeBSD
mailing lists.

The forums actually have a fair bit of activity, more than many of the 
mailing lists.  The web format allows highlighting code and commands, 
which helps make the messages clearer.


If you haven't taken a look, please do.  More people are always welcome.

Newbie or not, this question is appropriate to freebsd-questions.  Feel 
free to send it there. The so-called veteran users will be glad to help. 
There are all types responding to -questions including other noobs. I 
personally never used or participated in forums.

Jason

hey,
where do i point my browser to get into freebsd 9 newbie forums?...
i have been on the site, handbook, and done searches and don't find one...
i find newbie questions listed in searches not newbie forums...
i don't want to annoy veteran user forums with my 'stupid' newbie install
questions...
example:
i'm re-installing free 9 and it "could not start wpa_supplicant"...
i'm freshly writing it onto entire disc(drive)...
thanks for any help in locating forums for new install newbie questions...

I'm sure precise and clear described problems/questions [1] 
are not out of place on -questions, moreover you can 
always use http://forums.freebsd.org/forumdisplay.php?f=4
