Here are the steps I went through: [1] Google Search: "freebsd" -> "http://www.freebsd.org/" http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF8&q=freebsd [2] "The FreeBSD Project" -> "Handbook" http://www.freebsd.org/ [3] "FreeBSD Handbook" -> "FreeBSD FTP server" http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/index.html [4] "Index of ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/doc/" -> "handbook" ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/doc/ [5] "Index of ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/doc/handbook" ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/doc/handbook On step [4] I missed the "README", which doesn't tell anything about those mysterious .tar.gz, tar.bz2, tar.zip files. OK, it says "In addition, documents are compressed with the GNU Zip, regular Zip, and BZip2 format.", but that doesn't tell me anything. This might be better: "In addition, documents are compressed with the GNU Zip (.gz), regular Zip (.zip), and BZip2 (.bz2) format." That clarifies things.
