+ <tag/FREEBSD-NEWBIES/ <em>Newbies activities discussion</em><newline>
+ We cover any of the activities of newbies that are not already dealt with
+ elsewhere, including: independent learning and problem solving techniques,
+ finding and using resources and asking for help elsewhere, how to use
+ mailing lists and which lists to use, general chat, making mistakes,
+ boasting, sharing ideas, stories, moral (but not technical) support, and
+ taking an active part in the FreeBSD community. We take our problems and
+ support questions to freebsd-questions, and use freebsd-newbies to meet
+ others who are doing the same things that we do as newbies.
