Start at http://www.freebsd.org and take the link to the documentation
page. 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!
