<div class="SECT1">
<hr>
<h1 class="SECT1"><a name="AEN13">1 Introduction</a></h1>
<p>This distribution is a release of FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE,
the latest point along the 4-STABLE branch.</p>
<div class="SECT2">
<hr>
<h2 class="SECT2"><a name="AEN16">1.1 About
FreeBSD</a></h2>
<p>FreeBSD is an operating system based on 4.4 BSD Lite
for Intel, AMD, Cyrix or NexGen ``x86'' based PC hardware
and Compaq (formerly DEC) Alpha computers. Versions for
the IA64, PowerPC, and Sparc64 architectures are
currently under development as well. FreeBSD works with a
wide variety of peripherals and configurations and can be
used for everything from software development to games to
Internet Service Provision.</p>
<p>This release of FreeBSD contains everything you need
to run such a system, including full source code for the
kernel and all utilities in the base distribution. With
the source distribution installed, you can literally
recompile the entire system from scratch with one
command, making it ideal for students, researchers, or
users who simply want to see how it all works.</p>
<p>A large collection of third-party ported software (the
``Ports Collection'') is also provided to make it easy to
obtain and install all your favorite traditional UNIX
utilities for FreeBSD. Each ``port'' consists of a set of
scripts to retrieve, configure, build, and install a
piece of software, with a single command. Over 7,600
ports, from editors to programming languages to graphical
applications, make FreeBSD a powerful and comprehensive
operating environment that extends far beyond what's
provided by many commercial versions of UNIX. Most ports
are also available as pre-compiled ``packages'', which
can be quickly installed from the installation
program.</p>
</div>
<div class="SECT2">
<hr>
<h2 class="SECT2"><a name="AEN25">1.2 Target
Audience</a></h2>
<p>This release of FreeBSD is suitable for all users. It
has undergone a period of testing and quality assurance
checking to ensure the highest reliability and
dependability.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="SECT1">
<hr>
<h1 class="SECT1"><a name="AEN28">2 Obtaining
FreeBSD</a></h1>
<p>FreeBSD may be obtained in a variety of ways. This
section focuses on those ways that are primarily useful for
obtaining a complete FreeBSD distribution, rather than
updating an existing installation.</p>
<div class="SECT2">
<hr>
<h2 class="SECT2"><a name="AEN31">2.1 CDROM and
DVD</a></h2>
<p>FreeBSD -RELEASE distributions may be ordered on CDROM
or DVD from several publishers. This is frequently the
most convenient way to obtain FreeBSD for new
installations, as it provides a convenient way to quickly
reinstall the system if necessary. Some distributions
include some of the optional, precompiled ``packages''
from the FreeBSD Ports Collection.</p>
<p>A list of the CDROM and DVD publishers known to the
project are listed in the <a href=
"http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/mirrors.html"
target="_top">``Obtaining FreeBSD''</a> appendix to the
Handbook.</p>
</div>
<div class="SECT2">
<hr>
<h2 class="SECT2"><a name="AEN38">2.2 FTP</a></h2>
<p>You can use FTP to retrieve FreeBSD and any or all of
its optional packages from <a href=
"ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/" target=
"_top">ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/</a>, which is the official
FreeBSD release site, or any of its ``mirrors''.</p>
<p>Lists of locations that mirror FreeBSD can be found in
the <a href=
"http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/mirrors-ftp.html"
target="_top">FTP Sites</a> section of the Handbook, or
on the <a href="http://www.freebsdmirrors.org/" target=
"_top">http://www.freebsdmirrors.org/</a> Web pages.
Finding a close (in networking terms) mirror from which
to download the distribution is highly recommended.</p>
<p>Additional mirror sites are always welcome. Contact
<tt class="EMAIL">&#60;<a href=
"mailto:freebsd-admin@FreeBSD.org">freebsd-admin@FreeBSD.org</a>&#62;</tt>
for more details on becoming an official mirror site.</p>
<p>Mirrors generally contain the floppy disk images
necessary to begin an installation, as well as the
distribution files needed for the install process itself.
Many mirrors also contain the ISO images necessary to
create a CDROM of a FreeBSD release.</p>

FreeBSD Project</a></h1>
<div class="SECT2">
<h2 class="SECT2"><a name="AEN51">3.1 Email and Mailing
Lists</a></h2>
<p>For any questions or general technical support issues,
please send mail to the FreeBSD general questions mailing
list <tt class="EMAIL">&#60;<a href=
"mailto:freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org">freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org</a>&#62;</tt>.</p>
<p>If you are tracking the -STABLE development efforts,
you <span class="emphasis"><i class=

mailing list <tt class="EMAIL">&#60;<a href=
"mailto:freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.org">freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.org</a>&#62;</tt>,
in order to keep abreast of recent developments and
changes that may affect the way you use and maintain the
system.</p>
<p>Being a largely-volunteer effort, the FreeBSD Project
is always happy to have extra hands willing to
help--there are already far more desired enhancements
than there is time to implement them. To contact the
developers on technical matters, or with offers of help,
please send mail to the FreeBSD technical discussions
mailing list <tt class="EMAIL">&#60;<a href=
"mailto:freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.org">freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.org</a>&#62;</tt>.</p>
<p>Please note that these mailing lists can experience
<span class="emphasis"><i class=
"EMPHASIS">significant</i></span> amounts of traffic. If
you have slow or expensive mail access, or are only
interested in keeping up with major FreeBSD events, you
may find it preferable to subscribe instead to the
FreeBSD announcements mailing list <tt class=
"EMAIL">&#60;<a href=
"mailto:freebsd-announce@FreeBSD.org">freebsd-announce@FreeBSD.org</a>&#62;</tt>.</p>
<p>All of the mailing lists can be freely joined by
anyone wishing to do so. Send mail to <tt class=
"EMAIL">&#60;<a href=
"mailto:majordomo@FreeBSD.org">majordomo@FreeBSD.org</a>&#62;</tt>
and include the keyword <tt class="LITERAL">help</tt> on
a line by itself somewhere in the body of the message.
This will give you more information on joining the
various lists, accessing archives, etc. There are a
number of mailing lists targeted at special interest
groups not mentioned here; more information can be
obtained either through majordomo or the <a href=
"http://www.FreeBSD.org/support.html#mailing-list"
target="_top">mailing lists section</a> of the FreeBSD
Web site.</p>

<h2 class="SECT2"><a name="AEN71">3.2 Submitting Problem
Reports</a></h2>
<p>Suggestions, bug reports and contributions of code are
always valued--please do not hesitate to report any
problems you may find. Bug reports with attached fixes
are of course even more welcome.</p>
<p>The preferred method to submit bug reports from a
machine with Internet mail connectivity is to use the <a

use the Web form at <a href=
"http://www.FreeBSD.org/send-pr.html" target=
"_top">http://www.FreeBSD.org/send-pr.html</a>. ``Problem
Reports'' (PRs) submitted in this way will be filed and
their progress tracked; the FreeBSD developers will do
their best to respond to all reported bugs as soon as
possible. <a href=
"http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr-summary.cgi" target=

<span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span class=
"REFENTRYTITLE">send-pr</span>(1)</span></a> itself is a
shell script that should be easy to move even onto a
non-FreeBSD system. Using this interface is highly
preferred. If, for some reason, you are unable to use <a

Pages</a></h2>
<p>As with almost all UNIX-like operating systems,
FreeBSD comes with a set of on-line manual pages,
accessed through the <a href=

information on the different commands and APIs available
to the FreeBSD user.</p>
<p>In some cases, manual pages are written to given

Articles</a></h2>
<p>Two highly-useful collections of FreeBSD-related
information, maintained by the FreeBSD Project, are the
FreeBSD Handbook and FreeBSD FAQ (Frequently Asked
Questions document). On-line versions of the <a href=
"http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/"
target="_top">Handbook</a> and <a href=
"http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/"
target="_top">FAQ</a> are always available from the <a
href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/docs.html" target=
"_top">FreeBSD Documentation page</a> or its mirrors. If
you install the <tt class="FILENAME">doc</tt>
distribution set, you can use a Web browser to read the
Handbook and FAQ locally.</p>
<p>A number of on-line books and articles, also
maintained by the FreeBSD Project, cover
more-specialized, FreeBSD-related topics. This material
spans a wide range of topics, from effective use of the
mailing lists, to dual-booting FreeBSD with other
operating systems, to guidelines for new committers. Like
the Handbook and FAQ, these documents are available from
the FreeBSD Documentation Page or in the <tt class=
"FILENAME">doc</tt> distribution set.</p>
<p>A listing of other books and documents about FreeBSD
can be found in the <a href=
"http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/bibliography.html"
target="_top">bibliography</a> of the FreeBSD Handbook.
Because of FreeBSD's strong UNIX heritage, many other
articles and books written for UNIX systems are
applicable as well, some of which are also listed in the
bibliography.</p>
