Nice article on FreeBSD at O’Reilly just in time for my retake on learning this system. The dual notebook idea is smart, I just keep one set of notes on things that do work, not on the things that don’t work. Once I get the ADSL up and running I will have a great time setting up and updating my home network. Only 10 days or less left (after 8 months of waiting for it!!)
Once I figured out how to do something, I didn't have to reinvent the wheel when I needed to do it again six months later.
