Hi Neeraj,

The source code can be obtained by many ways:  for a given release,
you'll find the sources in the 'src' distributions.

Eg:- ftp://ftp.freebsd.org:/pub/FreeBSD/2.2.6-RELEASE/src/*

has the tarballs for the sources that made up the 2.2.6-RELEASE.

If you intend to track the sources as they develop, you should

(a) either subscribe to CTM mailing lists
(b) use CVSup (the recommended route) and bring down a local copy of
    the projects CVS tree.

If you are just looking at one or two files, you can use the WWW interface
to the CVS tree at: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi

There is information in the FreeBSD handbook on how to operate
each of these tools.  Check out http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/

Hmm, perhaps this should be a FAQ?
