ditto for me...

i agree with you on everything so far - man pages are golden.

i partly agree here.

yes, base is pretty well covered;  though i do believe that people tend
to be creative with the use of their base systems for purposes that were
originally not intended - those are interesting to read (to me)...

then there are instances where 3rd party apps (e.g. packages/ports)
which require a different approach on a bsd system, most of which are
not published in linux how-to's or journals (why should they be?).
