If the source code is going to make any sense to you as well, your going to have to be reasnably fluent in 'C' as a language, as most the unix utilities / applications are written in 'c'. Your also going to need to know how to use some of the unix editors such as 'vi' or emacs... Sourcecode normally ships with most programs, including FreeBSD itself - if you want to find the source for FreeBSD look in your '/usr/src' directory (if you installed the sources when you installed FreeBSD). If the directory is empty you will need to re-run systinstall and tell it to install some of the source distributions...
