<para>This book is split into three logically distinct sections.
|

<para>This book is split into five logically distinct sections.
|
||||
The first section, <emphasis>Getting Started</emphasis>, covers
|
||||
the installation and basic usage of FreeBSD. It is expected that
|
||||
the reader will follow these chapters in sequence, possibly
|
||||
skipping chapters covering familiar topics. The second section,
|
||||
<emphasis>System Administration</emphasis>, covers a broad
|
||||
collection of subjects that are of interest to more advanced
|
||||
FreeBSD users. Each section begins with a succinct synopsis that
|
||||
<emphasis>Common Tasks</emphasis>, covers some frequently used
|
||||
features of FreeBSD. This section, and all subsequent sections,
|
||||
can be read out of order. Each chapter begins with a succinct
|
||||
synopsis that
|
||||
describes what the chapter covers and what the reader is expected
|
||||
to already know. This is meant to allow the casual reader to skip
|
||||
around to find chapters of interest. The third section contains
|
||||
around to find chapters of interest. The third section,
|
||||
<emphasis>System Administration</emphasis>, covers administration
|
||||
topics. The fourth section, <emphasis>Network
|
||||
Communication</emphasis>, covers networking and server topics.
|
||||
The fifth section contains
|
||||
appendices of reference information.</para>
