the errata are located at <a href=

|
||||
|
||||
<p>This distribution is a release of FreeBSD 4.6.1-RELEASE.
|
||||
This is a ``point release''. It exists primarily to address
|
||||
some specific security and stability issues found
|
||||
(after-the-fact) in the FreeBSD 4.6-RELEASE distribution.
|
||||
Changes made for this point release are described, in the
|
||||
release notes. Generally speaking, the features of this
|
||||
release are unchanged compared to FreeBSD 4.6-RELEASE.</p>

<h3 class="SECT2"><a name="AEN17"></a>1.1 About
|
||||
FreeBSD</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<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 7,000
|
||||
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>

|
||||
Audience</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<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>

FreeBSD</h2>
|

|

<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>

DVD</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<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>

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"><<a href=

|

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>

<p>As with almost all UNIX-like operating systems,

FreeBSD comes with a set of on-line manual pages,

accessed through the <a href=

"http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=man&sektion=1&manpath=FreeBSD+4.6-RELEASE">

through the <a href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi"
|
||||
target="_top">hypertext manual pages gateway</a> on the
|
||||
FreeBSD Web site. In general, the manual pages provide
|
||||
information on the different commands and APIs available
|
||||
to the FreeBSD user.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>In some cases, manual pages are written to given
|
||||
information on particular topics. Notable examples of
|
||||
such manual pages are <a href=

Articles</h3>
|

|

<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/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
|

"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>
