New Dutch *BSD portal

Posted by michael on from the gratuitous-promotion dept.

Kees writes "Since this weekend there's a new *BSD portal site. You can find it at: nedbsd.be (the nedbsd.nl domain is coming too, but DNS works so slowly :-( ). This site is pretty unique, since it is the first portal site for *BSD users in The Netherlands, and the second one in Dutch. This site really looks like it's going to be a real community. Every Dutch/Belgian *BSD lover should give it a chance! The site is going to contain a huge pile of documentation, written by and for visitors. Just like the bsdvault.net. Everyone is welcome, everything is welcome."

    FreeBSD = you don't have to pay for it.
    DateBSD = your date pays for it.
    DutchBSD = you both split the bill.

    I have personally found that WorldLingo seems to do a better job. It does many languages (even does Japanese), and you can translate based on context. I have found this specifically helpful in searching for technical information.

    Nice to see portals for the BSD OS's
    I still find real documentation for say FreeBSD too scarse (besides the handbook).

    Besides, there is another portal already in Dutch language:

    As a Dutchman I'm often surprised how many of us are able to code in (a sort of) English yet have problems grasping the English text books.
    So, yes, there is a real reason to have such a site in one's native language.
