You can get the locally installed manual for any program (as well as configuration file, system service, library call, kernel inter- face and maintenance procedure) by entering "man <name>". In which programming language do you wish to develop on FreeBSD? If you choose C or C++, all required tools are already installed on the system (preprocessor, compiler, the "make" utility, even editors like "vi" or "ee"). You can also install graphical envi- ronments for development, such as Eclipse, KDevelop, Glade or Gorm. They are just a "pkg install" command away. > How can i go about, any help? You should find The FreeBSD Handbook and the FAQ very helpful. They'll help you learn how to use FreeBSD. They can be found online here: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/ https://www.freebsd.org/doc/faq/ You can also install them in the mentioned way to make them available locally, so you don't require an Internet connection to use them. A Wiki has also been created which contains many helpful articles: https://wiki.freebsd.org/ Still it's usually considered helpful if you have fundamental knowledge about UNIX operating systems. There are many good books about this topic, some of them covering internal details which _might_ be needed for what you're intending to develop on FreeBSD. As a developer, you'll also find the FreeBSD source code very helpful. It's consistent, clean, and well documented. You will usually find it in the /usr/src directory subtree on your local installation. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
