<item>Channel <tt>&num;FreeBSD</tt> on EFNet provides
technical discussions on FreeBSD and often advanced solutions
involving it. Questions that are more then adequately addressed
in the FAQ and Handbook are heavily discouraged.
<item>Channel <tt>&num;FreeBSD</tt> on EFNet has
a FreeBSD channel, but don't go there for tech support
or to try and get folks there to help you avoid the pain of
reading man pages or doing your own research. It is a chat
channel, first and foremost, and topics there are just as likely
to involve sex, sports or nuclear weapons as they are FreeBSD.

This network attempts to do more tech support and not be
as anarchistic as EFNET, UNDERNET or DALNET, but it's also
nowhere near as popular as a result. Why not volunteer to
answer FreeBSD questions on BSDNET today?

of IRC traffic, if you're easily offended or can't deal with lots
of young people (and more than a few older ones) doing the verbal
equivalent of jello wrestling, don't even bother with it.
