A site has been started to help beginners find out answers to oft-asked questions. Keith Sheperd, the man responsible for starting the site, is hoping to have contributions by the Darwin community to keep it expanding. Please check out the site and if there is an area of documentation or some wisdom you can share with the web send it in. Here is the unofficial announcement:

I just wanted to let everyone know that I am trying to get a Darwin OS Beginners guide web page up and running. I am new to the whole Darwin/UNIX world and I have been try to figure some things out. I could not find any source of decent information on Darwin secifically so I decided that I would try and compile some of the stuff I have figured out so far. The current webpage is at

It is far from being a complete Beginners guide, but it is a start. Since I am new to Darwin there are many things that I still have no clue how to do. If you have any tip and or information that you would like to contribute to the web page please send it my way. Not only would I appreciate it, but others who might run across my page might as well. There is so much to learn, and with out any docs it is really hard to get started as a beginner, so hopefully eventually this web site will serve as a simple collection of knowledge that might help others out.

Thanks!

Keith
