FreeBSD Friday

FreeBSD – Increasing your expertise each week!

I am very into FreeBSD. You may want to know more About FreeBSD. Which is why I have created FreeBSD Friday. Every week (yes, I skip some Fridays) I try to learn something about FreeBSD and post it.

Ok, so most of these FreeBSD posts weren’t created on a Friday, but I need to take a breath and add some method to the madness of my posts. So FreeBSD® Friday came to mind. I will post an article about FreeBSD every Friday (maybe I will miss a Friday or two if an article takes extra time). Over time, this site is intended to help others adopt FreeBSD, then move from being a newbie to becoming a FreeBSD expert. It may take years to become an expert.
