hi,

it's a pretty basic question I'm asking but I'd like to learn more about 
FreeBSD and Unix systems. For example I couldn't find how to recompile 
just one part of the base system (say ee for instance). Also when 
looking at the libraries I see lots of different suffixes which do not 
evoque anything to me (what are .so, .h, files and so on). What is the 
architecture of the system, how each and every part stick on the whole ? 
Could anyone tell me where to find information (readable for non 
specialist) about  this kind of questions - implying more than howto 
knowledge?
