The rapid pace of FreeBSD progress makes print media impractical as a means for following the latest developments. Electronic resources are the best, if not the only way stay informed of the latest advances. Also, since FreeBSD is a volunteer effort, the user community also serves as the technical support department and invariably, electronic mail and Usenet news are the most effective way of getting technical problems resolved. Below, the most important points of contact with the FreeBSD user community are outlined. If you are aware of other resources not included, please send them to doc@freebsd.org so they may be included. Mailing lists

Contributed by &a.dufalt;. 20 Jun 1995. Though many of the FreeBSD development members read USENET, we cannot always guarantee that we'll get to your questions in a timely fashion (or at all) if you post them only to one of the comp.unix.bsd.* groups. By addressing your questions to the appropriate mailing list you will reach both us and a concentrated FreeBSD audience, invariably assuring a better (or at least faster) response. There are list charters at the bottom of this document. Please read the list charter before joining a list. We must strive to keep the signal to noise ratio of the lists high, especially in the technical lists. Archives are kept for all of the mailing lists and can be searched using the the . The keyword searchable archive offers an excellent way to find answers to frequently asked questions and should be consulted before posting a question. List summary

General lists: The following are general lists that anyone is free to join: List Purpose ---------------------------------------------------------------------- freebsd-announce Important events / milestones freebsd-bugs Bug reports freebsd-chat Non technical items related to the community freebsd-policy Policy issues and suggestions freebsd-questions User questions freebsd-current Discussions about the use of FreeBSD-current Technical lists: The following are the technical lists. You should read the charter carefully before joining them, and you should keep your e-mail within the scope of the guidelines. List Purpose ---------------------------------------------------------------------- freebsd-doc Documentation project freebsd-fs Filesystems freebsd-hackers General Technical discussions freebsd-hardware General discussion of FreeBSD hardware freebsd-multimedia Multimedia discussions freebsd-platforms Porting to Non-Intel platforms freebsd-ports Discussion of "ports" freebsd-security Security issues freebsd-scsi SCSI subsystem Limited lists: The following are limited lists that you will need approval to join. Even though access to these lists is controled, anyone is free to send suggestions and comments to them. It is a good idea establish a presence in the technical lists before asking to join one of these limited lists. List Purpose ---------------------------------------------------------------------- freebsd-admin Administrative issues freebsd-arch Architecture and design discussions freebsd-core FreeBSD core team freebsd-install Installation development freebsd-user-groups User group coordination CVS lists: The following lists are for people seeing the log messages for source changes in specific areas: List name Source area Area Description (source for) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- cvs-CVSROOT /usr/src/[A-Z]* Top level /usr/src file changes cvs-all /usr/src All changes to the tree (superset) cvs-bin /usr/src/bin System binaries cvs-etc /usr/src/etc System files cvs-games /usr/src/games Games cvs-gnu /usr/src/gnu GPL'd utilities cvs-include /usr/src/include Include files cvs-kerberosIV /usr/src/kerberosIV Kerberos encryption code cvs-lib /usr/src/lib System libraries cvs-libexec /usr/src/libexec System binaries cvs-ports /usr/ports Ported software cvs-sbin /usr/src/sbin System binaries cvs-share /usr/src/share System shared files cvs-sys /usr/src/sys Kernel cvs-usrbin /usr/src/usr.bin Use binaries cvs-usrsbin /usr/src/usr.sbin System binaries How to subscribe

All mailing lists live on FreeBSD.ORG, so to post to a list you simply mail to listname@FreeBSD.ORG. It will then be redistributed to mailing list members throughout the world. To subscribe to a list, send mail to: majordomo@FreeBSD.ORG And include the keyword subscribe [] In the body of your message. For example, to subscribe yourself to freebsd-announce, you'd do: % mail majordomo@FreeBSD.ORG subscribe freebsd-announce ^D If you want to subscribe yourself under a different name, or submit a subscription request for a local mailing list (note: this is more efficient if you have several interested parties at one site, and highly appreciated by us!), you would do something like: % mail majordomo@FreeBSD.ORG subscribe freebsd-announce local-announce@somesite.com ^D Finally, it is also possible to unsubscribe yourself from a list, get a list of other list members or see the list of mailing lists again by sending other types of control messages to majordomo. For a complete list of available commands, do this: % mail majordomo@FreeBSD.ORG help ^D Finally, we again request that you keep the technical mailing lists on a technical track. If you're only interested in the "high points", then it's suggested that you join freebsd-announce, which will contain only infrequent traffic. List charters

Administrative issues Important events / milestones This is the mailing list for people interested only in occasional announcements of significant freebsd events. This includes announcements about snapshots and other releases. It contains announcements of new FreeBSD capabilities. It may contain calls for volunteers etc. This is a low volume list. Architecture and design discussions This is the mailing list for people discussing FreeBSD architectural issues. It is a closed list, and not for general subscription. Bug reports This is the mailing list for reporting bugs in FreeBSD Whenever possible, bugs should be submitted using "send-pr". Non technical items related to the community This list contains the overflow from the other lists about non-technical, social information. It includes discussion about whether Jordan looks like a tune ferret or not, whether or not to type in capitals, who is drinking too much coffee, where the best beer is brewed, who is brewing beer in their basement, and so on. Occasional announcements of important events (such as upcoming parties, weddings, births, new jobs, etc) can be made to the technical lists, but the follow ups should be directed to this -chat list. FreeBSD core team This is an internal mailing list for use by the core members. Discussions about the use of FreeBSD-current This is the mailing list for users of freebsd-current. It includes warnings about new features coming out in -current that will affect the users, and instructions on steps that must be taken to remain -current. Anyone running "current" must subscribe to this list. Discussions about the use of FreeBSD-current This is the digest version of the freebsd-current mailing list. The digest consists of all messages sent to freebsd-current bundled together and mailed out as a single message. The average digest size is about 40kB. Documentation project This mailing list belongs to the FreeBSD Doc Project and is for the discussion of documentation related issues and projects. Filesystems Discussions concerning FreeBSD filesystems. Technical discussions This is a forum for technical discussions related to FreeBSD. This is the primary technical mailing list. It is for individuals actively working on FreeBSD, to bring up problems or discuss alternative solutions. Individuals interested in following the technical discussion are also welcome. Technical discussions This is the digest version of the freebsd-hackers mailing list. The digest consists of all messages sent to freebsd-hackers bundled together and mailed out as a single message. The average digest size is about 40kB. General discussion of FreeBSD hardware General discussion about the types of hardware that FreeBSD runs on, various problems and suggestions concerning what to buy or avoid. Installation discussion This is the mailing list for people discussing FreeBSD installation development for the 2.0 release. Multimedia discussions This is a forum about multimedia applications using FreeBSD. Discussion center around multimedia applications, their installation, their development and their support within FreeBSD Porting to Non-Intel platforms Cross-platform freebsd issues, general discussion and proposals for non-Intel FreeBSD ports. Policy issues and suggestions This is a forum for policy discussions related to FreeBSD. This includes where FreeBSD is going, how to set up a consortium, whether or not and how to make FreeBSD pay for itself, how to attract more users, and so on. When a topic relates directly to FreeBSD but has little or no technical content then it should be sent to this list. Discussion of "ports" Discussions concerning FreeBSD's "ports collection" (/usr/ports), proposed ports, modifications to ports collection infrastructure and general coordination efforts. User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send "how to" questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. User questions This is the digest version of the freebsd-questions mailing list. The digest consists of all messages sent to freebsd-questions bundled together and mailed out as a single message. The average digest size is about 40kB. SCSI subsystem This is the mailing list for people working on the scsi subsystem for FreeBSD. Security issues FreeBSD computer security issues (DES, Kerberos, known security holes and fixes, etc). User Group Coordination List This is the mailing list for the coordinators from each of the local area Users Groups to dicuss matters with each other and a designated individual from the Core Team. This mail list should be limited to meeting synopsis and coordination of projects that span User Groups. Usenet newsgroups

In addition to two FreeBSD specific newsgroups, there are many others in which FreeBSD is discussed or are otherwise relevant to FreeBSD users. are available for some of these newsgroups from courtesy of Warren Toomey <wkt@cs.adfa.oz.au>. BSD specific newsgroups

nutshell<label id="nutshell"></heading> <p>FreeBSD is a state of the art operating system for personal computers based on the Intel CPU architecture, which includes the 386, 486 and Pentium processors (both SX and DX versions). Intel compatible CPUs from AMD and Cyrix are supported as well. FreeBSD provides you with many advanced features previously available only on much more expensive computers. These features include: <itemize> <item><bf>Preemptive multitasking</bf> with dynamic priority adjustment to ensure smooth and fair sharing of the computer between applications and users.</item> <item><bf>Multiuser</bf> access means that many people can use a FreeBSD system simultaneously for a variety of things. System peripherals such as printers and tape drives are also properly shared between all users on the system.</item> <item>Complete <bf>TCP/IP networking</bf> including SLIP, PPP, NFS and NIS support. This means that your FreeBSD machine can interoperate easily with other systems as well act as an enterprise server, providing vital functions such as NFS (remote file access) and e-mail services or putting your organization on the Internet with WWW, ftp, routing and firewall (security) services.</item> <item><bf>Memory protection</bf> ensures that applications (or users) cannot interfere with each other. One application crashing will not affect others in any way.</item> <item>FreeBSD is a <bf>32-bit</bf> operating system and was designed as such from the ground up.</item> <item>The industry standard <bf>X Window System</bf> (X11R6) provides a graphical user interface (GUI) for the cost of a common VGA card and monitor and comes with full sources.</item> <item><bf>Binary compatibility</bf> with many programs built for SCO, BSDI, NetBSD, and 386BSD.</item> <item>Hundreds of <bf>ready-to-run</bf> applications are available from the FreeBSD <bf>ports</bf> and <bf>packages</bf> collection. Why search the net when you can find it all right here?</item> <item>Thousands of additional and <bf>easy-to-port</bf> applications available on the Internet. FreeBSD is source code compatible with most popular commercial Unix systems and thus most applications require few, if any, changes to compile.</item> <item>Demand paged <bf>virtual memory</bf> and `merged VM/buffer cache' design efficiently satisfies applications with large appetites for memory while still maintaining interactive response to other users.</item> <item><bf>Shared libraries</bf> (the Unix equivalent of MS-Windows DLLs) provide for efficient use of disk space and memory.</item> <item>A full compliment of <bf>C</bf>, <bf>C++</bf> and <bf>Fortran</bf> development tools. Many additional languages for advanced research and development are also available in the ports and packages collection.</item> <item><bf>Source code</bf> for the entire system means you have the greatest degree of control over your environment. Why be locked into a proprietary solution and at the mercy of your vendor when you can have a truly Open System?</item> <item>Extensive <bf>on-line documentation</bf>.</item> <item><bf>And many more!</bf></item> </itemize> FreeBSD is based on the BSD 4.4-lite release from Computer Systems Research Group (CSRG) at the University of California at Berkeley, and carries on the distinguished tradition of BSD systems development. In addition to the fine work provided by CSRG, the FreeBSD Project has put in many thousands of hours in fine tuning the system for maximum performance and reliability in real-life load situations. As many of the commercial giants struggle to field PC operating systems with such features, performance and reliability, FreeBSD can offer them <bf>now</bf>! The applications to which FreeBSD can be put are truly limited only by your own imagination. From software development to factory automation, inventory control to azimuth correction of remote satellite antennae; if it can be done with a commercial UNIX product then it's more than likely that you can do it with FreeBSD, too! FreeBSD also benefits significantly from the literally thousands of high quality applications developed by research centers and universities around the world, often available at little to no cost. Commercial applications are also available and appearing in greater numbers every day. Because the source code for FreeBSD itself is generally available, the system can also be customized to an almost unheard of degree for special applications or projects, and in ways not generally possible with operating systems from most major commercial vendors. Here is just a sampling of some of the applications in which people are currently using FreeBSD: <itemize> <item><bf>Internet Services:</bf> The robust TCP/IP networking built into FreeBSD makes it an ideal platform for a variety of Internet services such as: <itemize> <item>FTP servers</item> <item>World Wide Web servers</item> <item>Gopher servers</item> <item>Electronic Mail servers</item> <item>USENET News</item> <item>Bulletin Board Systems</item> <item>And more...</item> </itemize> You can easily start out small with an inexpensive 386 class PC and upgrade as your enterprise grows.</item> <item><bf>Education:</bf> Are you a student of computer science or a related engineering field? There is no better way of learning about operating systems, computer architecture and networking than the hands on, under the hood experience that FreeBSD can provide. A number of freely available CAD, mathematical and graphic design packages also make it highly useful to those who's primary interest in a computer is to get <em>other</em> work done!</item> <item><bf>Research:</bf> With source code for the entire system available, FreeBSD is an excellent platform for research in operating systems as well as other branches of computer science. FreeBSD's freely available nature also makes it possible for remote groups to collaborate on ideas or shared development without having to worry about special licensing agreements or limitations on what may be discussed in open forums.</item> <item><bf>Networking:</bf> Need a new router? A name server (DNS)? A firewall to keep people out of your internal network? FreeBSD can easily turn that unused 386 or 486 PC sitting in the corner into an advanced router with sophisticated packet filtering capabilities. </item> <item><bf>X Window workstation:</bf> FreeBSD is a fine choice for an inexpensive X terminal solution, either using the freely available XFree86 server or one of the excellent commercial servers provided by X Inside. Unlike an X terminal, FreeBSD allows many applications to be run locally, if desired, thus relieving the burden on a central server. FreeBSD can even boot "diskless", making individual workstations even cheaper and easier to administer.</item> <item><bf>Software Development:</bf> The basic FreeBSD system comes with a full compliment of development tools included the renowned GNU C/C++ compiler and debugger. </item> </itemize> + +FreeBSD is available in both source and binary form on CDROM and +via anonymous ftp.

The easiest way of doing this is to grab the sup.tgz package from: <verb> ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.ORG:/pub/FreeBSD/packages/sup.tgz </verb> Install the sup package using pkg_add and add the following line to your /etc/services file: <verb> sup 871/tcp #sup </verb> SUP gets the information it needs to run from a configuration file called a supfile. This file tells sup what collections it will be updating and/or installing and where they go. The supfile in this directory will sup both the source and ports collection - look for the blank line seperating the two collections; if you don't want ports, you can simply delete all the ports entries. If you're inside the United States, you may also uncomment the `secure' collection line to grab the DES code. If you're outside the U.S., you should NOT sup this code from FreeBSD.ORG as this will -violate U.S. export restrictions. Simply sup everything *but* the secure -collection and then go look on "braae.ru.ac.za", where it's available for +violate U.S. export restrictions.
