20. Resources on the Internet

The rapid pace of FreeBSD progress makes print media impractical as a means for following the latest developments. Electronic resources are the best, if not the only way stay informed of the latest advances. Also, since FreeBSD is a volunteer effort, the user community also serves as the technical support department and invariably, electronic mail and Usenet news are the most effective way of getting technical problems resolved.

Below, the most important points of contact with the FreeBSD user community are outlined. If you are aware of other resources not included, please send them to doc@freebsd.org so they may be included.
