And perhaps something like the Handbook?

Welcome to FreeBSD! This handbook covers the installation and day to day 
use of FreeBSD 4.11-RELEASE and FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE. This manual is a 
work in progress and is the work of many individuals.

(Hm reminds me that we might need to bump the 5.X-RELEASE stuff)

and please do not post to doc@ and freebsd-doc@ :)

Cheers
