With all due respect, I personally feel the current website located at: http://www.FreeBSD.org has more than enough information on the various topics you mentioned. These things include How FreeBSD began, who's involved with FreeBSD, how to obtain, install, and use FreeBSD, ways to advocate FreeBSD use in both the home and market place. An extra readme would be nothing more than repeating everything the website currently states and tries to represent. Thank you for the interest, if you need help with a specific topic, I would recommend you check out the various FreeBSD mailing lists located at: http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/eresources.html#ERESOURCES-MAIL Tomi Häsä wrote: > Dear FreeBSD Organization, > > (I don't want to send email to mailing lists, because my posting might go > to hundreds of people, but there isn't any other addresses than mailing > lists for your site, as far as I know, so I post my message here.) > > ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/doc/handbook > > Could there be a readme file on the above URL for Windows users who want > to read about FreeBSD, but don't own FreeBSD or Linux at home?
