Praise for the HOW-TO contributors

T

tanked

Assuming that the 'HOW-TO' sub-forum is just for, well, 'HOW-TOs' I thought I'd post this here:

I just wanted to give thanks and praise to those that have contributed to the HOW-TO forums, it was something that was sorely needed for FreeBSD. As an example, about 5 years ago I set up a Samba PDC with an LDAP backend - to accomplish this I had to do weeks of research and modify Linux how-tos I found on the web to fit FreeBSD. Now thanks to the aforementioned contributors people no longer need to trawl through endless Linux-specific how-tos, walk-throughs and articles, they can come to this website and the chances are they'll find the answer here. :beer
 
While I agree that How-Tos can be useful, I would like to remind everybody of the following:

The Pledge of the Network Admin

This is my network.

It is mine
or technically my employer's,
it is my responsibility
and I care for it with all my heart

there are many other networks a lot like mine,

but none are just like it.

I solemnly swear

that I will not mindlessly paste from HOWTOs.
