@chimay I remember those time (I started with Linux in 1996). The main problem was the lack of documentation. When Gentoo came out, I learnt a lot of things, but the FreeBSD handbook has been my manual for Unix and Unix like systems as many things could apply to any of them.

@stefano we have now plenty of good docs and wiki !

From what I've seen so far on freebsd doc & man pages, examples are often available, which is a good starting point when you discover sthg new.

@chimay FreeBSD (and the other BSDs) is full of documentation, OpenBSD has some perfect documentation. Linux has the great Arch Wiki (and others).

It's much much easier today. Maybe less fun? 😉
