I've definitely observed very different experiences with my journey into FreeBSD. A friend at work turned me on to it and I became his padawan. After I started figuring out what I was doing, I then took on an apprentice. There're now actually 5 generations of this Master/Padawan pairings in my office. Maybe its just because a lot of FreeBSD users are also large advocates but I've found most #FreeBSD channels and mailing lists to be VERY helpful with relatively little STFU n00b responses.

For the record, yes that was a half-assed attempt at humor. I'd been at work for 11 hours at the point when I posted that so have mercy on me.
I'm sick of shaky camcorder job movies I've been downloading on Shareaza. Hopefully this will make the movies shared on P2P networks better quality.
