Tutorials

Here lie assorted documents about FreeBSD and FreeBSD related software and hardware.

Books

Online documentation is useful, but any serious FreeBSD user should consider getting some of the books listed here. Most books that cover BSD systems apply well to FreeBSD.

Manual Pages

The manual pages for FreeBSD 2.0 and XFree86 release 3.1, courtesy of Hinrich Eilts.

The Source Code

If you like digging your fingers into source code, here is a hypetext version of the FreeBSD kernel source. This is brought to you courtesy of Warren Toomey.

The FreeBSD Documentation Project

Like FreeBSD itself, this documentation is the product of a volunteer effort. The goals of the project are outlined here, as are the procedures for submitting corrections and new material.

Installing FreeBSD

There are many options for installing FreeBSD, including installation from CDROM, floppy disk, an MS-DOS partition, magnetic tape, anonymous ftp, and NFS. Please read through the installation guide before downloading the entire FreeBSD distribution. If you are installing on a machine connected to the Internet, you may only need to download a single installation disk image!

FreeBSD Distribution Sites

The official sources for FreeBSD are:

If you plan on getting FreeBSD via ftp, please check the listing of mirror sites in the handbook to see if there is a site closer to you. For more information about past, present and future releases in general, please visit the release information page.

Applications and Utility Software

The Packages collection

The FreeBSD packages are a diverse collection of utility and application software that has been ported to FreeBSD. The packages are pre-compiled binaries ready to drop into your system and run.

The Ports collection

The Ports collection is like the packages collection but instead of compiled binaries, the necessary patches and makefiles to compile the source code are provided. For software with important configuration that must be done at compile time, the "port" version may be more useful than the "package" version.

For information about how you can contribute your favorite piece of software to the port collection, have a look at Porting applications and Contributing to FreeBSD in the FreeBSD handbook.

Commercial software

Beginning with FreeBSD Release 2.0.5, FreeBSD includes demo versions of some commercial as well as some shareware products. In addition to the demos available in the FreeBSD distribution, a number of other commercial vendors offer software products specifically for FreeBSD.
