"Build Your Own FreeBSD update Server"
and attach it to the build.
A freebsd-update server allows a system administrator to update a number
of servers from a local mirror of the Project's update servers.
It also allows creation and fast distribution of local patches.

Right For You."
This article attempts to provide an introduction to such concepts
as Releases, Branches, and STABLE vs. CURRENT, which are currently
scattered around between the FAQ, various Release Engineering documents,
and folklore on the mailing lists.
The material in the FAQ should probably be deleted and this used as
its replacement. This material does not replace any of the Release
Engineering documentation, but it does attempt to discuss how the
concepts discussed in great detail therein should influence user
decisions on which version to install. In particular, this article
attempts to inform users about the current thinking of the development
team in terms of how future releases are going to be done.
A companion article comparing e.g. 5.X vs 6.X would be useful but is
outside the scope of this commit.
This article is partially a response to the "Quality of FreeBSD" thread
on freebsd-stable in July 2005 (and its many antecedents).

I intend this article to be the first thing that new FreeBSD users
encounter when looking for information about mailing lists (i.e. I intend
to replace most links in our existing web pages to the 'How to get the
best results from freebsd-questions' article to this one instead; and
to have that article referenced from this one). That will happen shortly
(not yet).
Much of the text is indeed recycled from that article (thanks to Grog
for permission to do so), but some, including the bikeshed meta-info,
is my own. I have also generalized his article to apply to any mailing
list (not just FreeBSD-specific, although there is new text that touches
on that as well).
I have no doubt that there are rough edges in this article (both
stylistically and formatting). Please let me know. NB: it has
been tested locally with a make in the articles/ directory.

this only affects the corresponding Japanese Makefile; all the others
either have already fixed this problem, or the entry is missing (not yet

be a quick HOWTO for the various issues likely to be interesting for
laptop users; such as power management, winmodems, XFree86 on laptop
hardware, etc..
This is just a start, and there is plenty of room for improvement.
