      10.2-RELEASE, the latest point along the 10.2-STABLE
      branch. </p><div class="sect2"><div xmlns="" class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" class="title"><a id="idp61840240"></a>1.1. About FreeBSD</h3></div></div></div><p xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/transitional">FreeBSD is an operating system based on 4.4 BSD Lite for
	AMD64 and Intel EM64T based PC hardware (amd64), Intel,
	AMD, Cyrix or NexGen <span xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" class="quote">&#8220;<span class="quote">x86</span>&#8221;</span> based PC hardware
	(i386), Intel Itanium Processor based computers
	(ia64), NEC PC-9801/9821 series PCs and compatibles
	(pc98), and <span xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" class="trademark">UltraSPARC</span>® machines (sparc64).
	Versions for the <span xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" class="trademark">ARM</span>® (arm), <span xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" class="trademark">MIPS</span>® (mips), and
	<span xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" class="trademark">PowerPC</span>® (powerpc) architectures are currently under
	development as well.  FreeBSD works with a wide variety of
	peripherals and configurations and can be used for everything
	from software development to games to Internet Service
	Provision. </p><p xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/transitional">This release of FreeBSD contains everything you need to run
	such a system, including full source code for the kernel and
	all utilities in the base distribution.  With the source
	distribution installed, you can literally recompile the entire
	system from scratch with one command, making it ideal for
	students, researchers, or users who simply want to see how it
	all works. </p><p xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/transitional">A large collection of third-party ported software (the
	<span xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" class="quote">&#8220;<span class="quote">Ports Collection</span>&#8221;</span>) is also provided to make it
	easy to obtain and install all your favorite traditional
	<span xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" class="trademark">UNIX</span>® utilities for FreeBSD.  Each <span xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" class="quote">&#8220;<span class="quote">port</span>&#8221;</span> consists
	of a set of scripts to retrieve, configure, build, and install
	a piece of software, with a single command.  Over
	24,000 ports, from editors to programming languages to
	graphical applications, make FreeBSD a powerful and comprehensive
	operating environment that extends far beyond what's provided
	by many commercial versions of <span xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" class="trademark">UNIX</span>®.  Most ports are also
	available as pre-compiled <span xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" class="quote">&#8220;<span class="quote">packages</span>&#8221;</span>, which can
	be quickly installed from the installation program. </p></div><div class="sect2"><div xmlns="" class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" class="title"><a id="idp61860336"></a>1.2. Target Audience</h3></div></div></div><p xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/transitional">This release of FreeBSD is

This section
      focuses on those ways that are primarily useful for obtaining a
      complete FreeBSD distribution, rather than updating an existing
      installation. </p><div class="sect2"><div xmlns="" class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" class="title"><a id="idp61867248"></a>2.1. CDROM and DVD</h3></div></div></div><p xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/transitional">FreeBSD -RELEASE distributions may be ordered on CDROM or DVD
	from several publishers.  This is frequently the most
	convenient way to obtain FreeBSD for new installations, as it
	provides a convenient way to quickly reinstall the system if
	necessary.  Some distributions include some of the optional,
	precompiled <span xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" class="quote">&#8220;<span class="quote">packages</span>&#8221;</span> from the FreeBSD Ports
