There is none. For questions about FreeBSD you are welcome here. For

comp.lang.c

I understand. Any questions about programming on the FreeBSD platform
go here.

Unless you're doing really FreeBSD specific things you're probably better
off in comp.lang.c or comp.unix.programmer or some place like that.

Most programs should be written so that they can be made to run on many
different unix systems with little effort.

And a heads up, if your questions are at all Unix oriented, ask
them in comp.unix.programmer (or such) and not in comp.lang.c. If
you are having a really lucky day, you may get a useful answer in
comp.lang.c, but most likly you will be told that your question is
OS specific and doesn't belong there. (The comp.lang.c charter is
apparently discussion of *standard* C and they try not to drift too
far.)

Some people are nicer that others in those responses.
