    I've got to admit that. When I was beginning my adventure with FreeBSD I
    already knew that most popular acronyms among Linux users were 'RTFM' and
    'STFW'. And after joining this mailing list and subscribing to some *bsd
    usenet groups I was really stunned that people didn't treat newbies the same
    way! Even if a new user is pointed to a section in a handbook it is done with
    an explanation, without some sort of rudeness that you can meet when you ask
    the same thing on Linux groups. This really helps to understand how to use
    BSD systems, how to deal with encountered problems and so on.
