The reason I created this Web site is I wanted to use it as a notepad. You
know, record my knowledge, problems and solutions about Unix in general and
FreeBSD in particular, since this is the operating system I am currently using
and most familiar with.
I am hoping that doing this would help me gain more knowledge and solidify those I already have. I also want to help others by sharing my knowledge, and in turn learn from them.
You might ask, why would I want to learn Unix? Perhaps the answer can be found in the early history of Unix when in 1969 a small group of people at Bell Laboratories started a private research project to design an operating system, which is simple and elegant, written in a high level language rather than assembly language, and allows re-use of code.
Except for the kernel, a relatively small amount of code, which had to be written in assembly language, the bulk of the Unix operating system was written in a high level language called C.
