<h2>Additional Resources</h2>
<p>www.FreeBSD.org is not the only place to get information on FreeBSD;
various independent efforts have also produced a great deal of useful
information about FreeBSD.</p>
<ul>
<li><p><a href="mailto:mckusick@mckusick.com">Kirk McKusick</a>, one
of the original architects of BSD at U.C. Berkeley, teaches two <a
href="http://www.mckusick.com/courses/">4.4BSD Kernel
Internals</a> courses using FreeBSD. For those unable to attend
the courses in person, a video tape series is also now
available.</p></li>
<li><p>The <a
href="http://dmoz.org/Computers/Operating_Systems/Unix/FreeBSD/">Open
Directory Project</a> offers an excellent selection of links for
FreeBSD, including a list of <a
href="http://dmoz.org/Computers/Operating_Systems/Unix/FreeBSD/Prominent_Users/">prominent
users</a> which can be helpful for marketing purposes.</p></li>
<li><p><a href="http://www.computerbits.com/">Computer Bits</a>, an
Internet online magazine, has, since March 1996, been running an
excellent series of FreeBSD related articles in their column titled
<strong>The Network Community</strong>, by <a
href="mailto:tedm@agora.rdrop.com">Ted Mittelstaedt</a>.<br>
These articles cover everything from setting up <a
href="http://www.computerbits.com/archive/9603/lan9603.htm">a
FreeBSD based mail server</a> to doing <a
href="http://www.computerbits.com/archive/9708/lan9708.htm">Network
Address Translation</a> for other hosts.</p></li>
<li><p><a href="http://www.vmunix.com/fbsd-book/">A Comprehensive Guide
to FreeBSD</a> - an attempt at a more readable, "book-like"
tutorial explaining the FreeBSD Operating System. Intended for
people new to both FreeBSD and UNIX. Currently a work in
progress.</p></li>
<li><p><a href="http://flag.blackened.net/freebsd/">FreeBSD How-To's for
the Lazy and Hopeless</a> is another somewhat more light-hearted
attempt to provide more readable "how-to" style information on
setting up and configuring FreeBSD.</p></li>
<li><p><a
href="http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/mini/Linux+FreeBSD.html">The
Linux+FreeBSD mini-HOWTO</a> describes how to use
Linux and FreeBSD on the same system. It introduces FreeBSD and
discusses how the two operating systems can cooperate, e.g. by
sharing swap space.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<a name="books"></a>
<h2><a href="handbook/bibliography.html">Books</a></h2>
<p>Online documentation is useful, but any serious FreeBSD user should
consider getting some of the books listed here. Most books that cover
BSD systems apply well to FreeBSD.</p>
