However, I would expect that 80% of the time, a google on "<state> freebsd" will produce enough information to satisfy you. The other 20% of the time, you'll either need to read the source code or find a helpful developer to explain. Don't hesitate to ask on this list if you come across a state you can't find information on. -- Bill Moran Collaborative Fusion Inc.
