For general acronyms, use http://www.acronymfinder.com

For information on bikesheds, check the FreeBSD FAQ:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/index.html

And, for information on GEOM, SMP, and the like, read through the
release notes and other documentation for FreeBSD 5.x.  There are links
to these on the main http://www.freebsd.org website.
