As the title suggests, this page is for questions that are not only frequent, but reasonable questions. There are two questions that come to mind (these don't count as FARQ's . . . perhaps they're just ARQ's), which I ask and answer below. *Note that these questions do not address questions that come to mind as a result of their answers. As you'll see, there is a place for addressing those issues.

  • Q1: How are questions determined to be frequently asked questions?

    A1: Well, this is where your help is needed. Below you will find a form for asking questions. I will review those asked on a regular basis and their frequency will be determined in the obvious way. I will only post the top 5 (or so) most frequent ane reasonable ones. Thus, the first 5 (or so) asked will be posted. Good luck! I'm sure you're biting your nails.

  • Q2: How is a question's reasonableness determined?

    A2: This is dependent upon you, as well. You just leave it to me.

  • Now for the FARQ

  • FARQ1: Two openBSD machines, two netBSD machines . . . you seem to be infatuated with BSD. Where is freeBSD? or dragonflyBSD, for that matter?

    A1: Great question, "anonymous asker!"

    Let's be clear . . . I do enjoy UNIX, especially BSD style.

    I'm not against fBSD. Actually, frege had fBSD on it before debian. The reason for the switch is three-fold. (1) I wanted to get some experience with linux. So far debian is treating me well. (2) My experience with fBSD was not too pleasent (upgrade and what not). I'm sure that I didn't give it a fair chance, but I didn't feel like spending much time messing with it. And (3) aristotle is not much of an nBSD machine. He's old and slow and mainly just for show ;-) Russell provides me with much more of a nBSD experience. So, I really only have one nBSD machine.

    Basically, I'm waiting for the next machine to put fBSD on it. Any offers?! (Ditto, regarding dBSD)

  • >> UPDATE: You may have noticed from the homepage that russell no longer runs nBSD. His life has taken a different course. Thus, this question is no longer relevant, but I remain steadfast in the postion expressed in the last line of the answer.

    FARQ2: . . .

    A2: . . .
