Also do a search for keywords at the www.freebsd.org search page, to find other documentation on the web site. There is a security section on the web site as well. You will find some good documents under the two directories at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/ If you have a FreeBSD installation, you will find them under /usr/share/doc too. One of them, the FreeBSD Handbook, contains lists of other information sources such as books and online articles. There are some very interesting recent and historical technical articles in those directories. Your question is not for support but for orientation, so it's perfect for the freebsd-newbies mailing list. But it's OK to try the support mailing list too, freebsd-questions@freebsd.org, in case one of the many volunteer experts there knows about more documentation than the newbies know. Be careful, though. Before asking freebsd-questions, it is important to do your research on the web site so that you can let them know what you found already and what you still need. That will make those busy volunteers much more keen to help you. Good luck with your assignment, guys! -- Regards, -*Sue*- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
