Read the Handbook online, at=20 http://www.FreeBSD.org/handbook/ =20 It is also available in a variety of different formats (including PS and PD= F) from=20 ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/doc/ We're gearing up to print a second edition of the Handbook around October / November time. You can see the current task list for that process at http://www.FreeBSD.org/docproj/handbook.html And if you think that any content in the Handbook is not clearly written, or could be improved upon, you are strongly encouraged to help out by submitting changes and commentary, and by joining the doc@FreeBSD.org mailing list. Contributors are acknowledged in the Handbook, so this could be your chance to see your name in print.
