This was posted the other day in reply to the same question you are
asking :

<snip>

Good question! I was puzzled myself for a long time.
I stumbled upon an answer in the FAQ at www.FreeBSD.org:

How to find it:
1)   http://www.FreeBSD.org/

2)   At the top of the page is a yellow "menu bar"
     "Applications Support Documentation Vendors Search Index Home"

3)   Click on "Documentation"

4)   The "Documentation" page has a link to "Frequently Asked
Questions"
     Follow that link.

5)   Look at the FAQ page, there are different categories:
       1. Preface
       2. Installation
       etc
       12. Miscellaneous Questions
       12.1
       12.2 Why use (what are) a.out and ELF executable formats?

Along the way, there are many other interesting FAQs to read.
