freebsd.stanford.edu used to be an alias for andrsn.stanford.edu, but
is now assigned differently (and it's not running a web server).
It should be changed to andrsn.stanford.edu.
I continue to get occasional email about it. But the FreeBSD->Linux
project approach (getting input from a variety of people and trying
to edit it) didn't work out very well; and there seem to be other
resources (even IRC) for people making the transition from Linux
to FreeBSD. I don't really want to try to revive or continue this
project. However, the Linux mini-howto on FreeBSD and Linux (which
was very good back in the late 1990s) is out of date, and there's
certainly room for a document or tutorial on some of this stuff.
I included some "hints" for Linux users (how to mount your Linux
partitions; need to be in the wheel group to su to root, etc.) in
my book, but didn't get into details about partitions, how to use
lilo with FreeBSD, and the like.
