<h2>Additional Resources</h2>
<p>www.FreeBSD.org is not the only place to get information on FreeBSD
and various independent efforts have also produced a great deal
of useful information on 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><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">

<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://sunsite.unc.edu/LDP/HOWTO/mini/Linux+FreeBSD-mini-HOWTO.html">The Linux+FreeBSD mini-HOWTO</a> -
this document 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.

<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>
