Sorry to jump in in the middle of this thread, but I must agree with Brennan that FreeBSD's online documentation is woefully incomplete. A person upgrading from 3.x to 4.0-release shouldn't have to subscribe to a mailing list. Let me use www.perl.apache.org as an example. You will not find more complete and detailed documentation anywhere. There is more information on how to use mod_perl with apache on that site than there is information for the entire FreeBSD operating system anywhere 8(. I'd like to see the FreeBSD handbook achieve that level of quality and detail. At that point, I think the flames people get for not reading the docs would make more sense. I'd be glad to help in this area, as I'm a very good writer. Can someone point me in the right direction?
