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 However, the Linux mini-howto on FreeBSD and Linux (which was very good back in the late 1990s) is out of date, and there's certainly room for a document or tutorial on some of this stuff.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.
