FreeBSD How to file

One of the problems with Free BSD is the piss poor documentation, I have compiled some of my own from my experience and dropped it here. if you have anything you would like to add e-mail it to me here.



This page is being completely revamped, most of the links don't work yet, and some of them go to strange places... The basic stuff that worked on the old page should still work. Please pardon my dust for a couple of weeks until I get everything written.

Please remember as you read this that it is EXTREAMLY opionated, you may disagree with a lot of how I do things. This is what works for me, your results may be different.
