FreeBSD's documentation falls into four basic categories;

  1. The manual pages

    The Project does not really concern itself with these, since they are a part of the base system. The exception to this is the Japanese team, who are translating them. There is no reason other volunteers could not step in to translate the manual pages to other languages as well.

    That is not to say that the manual pages are unimportant, far from it. It is just that they are intimately tied to specific systems of FreeBSD, and most of the time the best person to write the manual page is the person that wrote that part of FreeBSD.

  3. The FAQ

  4. The FAQ

    This is maintained by the project. The aim is to address (in short question and answer format) questions that are asked or should be asked on the various mailing lists and newsgroups devoted to FreeBSD. The format does not permit long winded and comprehensive answers.

  5. The Handbook

    This is maintained by the project. Topics that need a more in depth discussion are addressed in the Handbook.

  6. The Tutorials

    Some of these tutorials are maintained by Project committers, others are not. The maintenance of these documents is up to the individual authors, although, to the best of my knowledge, they have all kept them up to date, solicit comments from the readership and so on.

    Some of the tutorials are stored on the FreeBSD web site. For these tutorials the authors submit their changes to one of the committers, and the committer makes the change. Other tutorials are stored on the author's private webspace, and the author can make changes as and when they wish. Sometimes this is a deliberate choice on the part of the author, and sometimes it is a historical accident.

What is FreeBSD?

FreeBSD is an advanced BSD UNIX operating system for the Intel compatible (x86), DEC Alpha, and PC-98 architectures. It is developed and maintained by a large team of individuals.

Cutting edge features

FreeBSD offers advanced networking, performance, security and compatibility features today which are still missing in other operating systems, even some of the best commercial ones.

Powerful Internet solutions

FreeBSD makes an ideal Internet or Intranet server. It provides robust network services, even under the heaviest of loads, and uses memory efficiently to maintain good response times for hundreds, or even thousands, of simultaneous user processes. Visit our gallery for examples of FreeBSD powered applications and services.

Run a huge variety of applications

The quality of FreeBSD combined with today's low-cost, high-speed PC hardware makes FreeBSD a very economical alternative to commercial UNIX workstations. It is well-suited for a great number of both desktop and server applications.

Easy to install

FreeBSD can be installed from a variety of media including CD-ROM, floppy disk, magnetic tape, an MS-DOS partition, or if you have a network connection, you can install it directly over anonymous FTP or NFS. All you need is a pair of blank, 1.44MB floppies and these directions.

FreeBSD is free

While you might expect an operating system with these features to sell for a high price, FreeBSD is available free of charge and comes with full source code. If you would like to try it out, more information is available.

Contributing to FreeBSD

It is easy to contribute to FreeBSD. All you need to do is find a part of FreeBSD which you think could be improved and make those changes (carefully and cleanly) and submit that back to the Project by means of send-pr or a committer, if you know one. This could be anything from documentation to artwork to source code. See the Contributing to FreeBSD section in the FreeBSD Handbook.

The following resources are some of those which FreeBSD newbies have found most helpful when learning to use FreeBSD. Please send corrections and additions to FreeBSD-Newbies@FreeBSD.org.

Using the FreeBSD web site

This web site is the main source of up to date information about FreeBSD. Newbies have found the following pages particularly helpful:

Learning about FreeBSD

Learning about UNIX

Many of the problems we have as newbies come from being unfamiliar with the UNIX commands needed to fix our FreeBSD problems. Without a UNIX background you'll be faced with two things to learn at once. Fortunately a lot of resources are available to make this easier.

Learning about the X Window System

The X Window System is used with a number of operating systems, including FreeBSD. The documentation for X can be found at The XFree86 Project, Inc., including the XFree86 FAQ. Beware, much of this documentation is reference material which is likely to be difficult for newcomers to digest.

Helping other people

Everyone has something to contribute to the FreeBSD community, even newbies! Some are busy working with the new advocacy group and some have become involved with the Documentation Project as reviewers. Other FreeBSD newbies might have particular skills and experiences to share, either computer related or not, or just want to meet new newbies and make them feel welcome. There's always people around who help others simply because they like to. Write to FreeBSD Newbies for more information.

Friends who run FreeBSD are a great resource. No book can replace chatting on the phone or across a pizza with someone who has the same interests, enjoys similar accomplishments, and faces the same challenges. If you don't have many friends who use FreeBSD, consider using your old FreeBSD CDs to create some more :-)

User groups are good places to meet other FreeBSD users. If there's not one nearby, maybe you could start one.

Before talking to real humans about your new skills, you might want to check the Pronunciation Guide and the Jargon File :-)

On line we have the FreeBSD-Newbies mailing list for non-technical discussions about matters of interest to newbies. Another mailing list, FreeBSD-Questions, answers our questions about using FreeBSD.
