You would probably be better off with a link to our site. Documentation is (ideally) a very fluid thing and in particular we are working on making many changes and improvements to ours in the next several months. Additionally, although most of the stuff on our web site has no restrictions on reproduction, my understanding is that certain parts of our web site have different copyrights depending on the author's wishes. > I am currently writting a tutorial on FreeBSD and one section > will be covering unix basics which I would like to insert into the > handbook since their is a lack of the basics in the handbook. Have you looked at the whole web site? There are several tutorials that you might have missed, including one specifically directed at newbies. We would of course be interested in any documentation you come up with directed at new users as this is an important priority for any technical endeavor.
