<p>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
<tt>doc@freebsd.org</tt> so they may be included.
