Author: eadler Date: Mon Nov 19 13:12:34 2012 New Revision: 40095 URL: http://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/doc/40095 Log: Redirect people to more appropriate places rather than replicating information in the FAQ. This also means that should the information change only one source-of-truth need change.
