Yes, this is supposed to be a new top level in the repository. For the moment any changes to this area must be cleared by myself or Jordan. Once the kinks are worked out, the policy will probably be relaxed.

|
|
|

<p>There are a few FreeBSD specific newsgroups, along with

|
numerous other newsgroups on topics of interest to FreeBSD
|
|
users, though the mailing lists remain the most reliable way to

|
get in touch with the FreeBSD developers. For miscellaneous

<h2><a href="http://www.freebsd.org/">WEB Resources</a></h2>
|
|
|
|
Our WEB pages remain one of the best sources of information,
|
|
and are also mirrored at many sites around the world. Most countries
|
|
also now have subdomains set up under <b>freebsd.org</b> to make such
|
|
local resources easier to find - when in doubt, try connecting to
|
|
www.<b>yourcountry</b>.freebsd.org (e.g.
|
|
<a href="http://www.de.freebsd.org/">www.de.freebsd.org</a> for
|
|
Germany or <a href="http://www.au.freebsd.org/">www.au.freebsd.org</a>
|
|
for Australia). The same is also true for <b>FTP</b> servers, by
|
|
the way.
