First of all, the Handbook which you can get from the FreeBSD.org site is your best source of information so don't discount it. Second, make use of searching. Google will be your friend. Third, there are several online publications with lots of helpful articles on various aspects of FreeBSD installation, administration and operation. One of these in Onlamp.com. There are many others. You will come across them whevever you do searches. Read these along with, not instead of, the Handbook. Fourth, after reading these sources, starting with the Handbook and the man pages and on through searches and online publications, if you have additional questions or need some more directions, then post questions to the appropriate FreeBSD Email list. Questions is often the most generally helpful. ////jerry > > Regards, > > Milind >
