About FreeBSD</h3></div></div></div><p xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/transitional">FreeBSD is an operating system based on 4.4 BSD Lite for
+ AMD64 and Intel EM64T based PC hardware (amd64),
+ Intel, AMD, Cyrix or NexGen <span xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" class="quote">“<span class="quote">x86</span>”</span> based PC
+ hardware (i386), NEC PC-9801/9821 series PCs and
+ compatibles (pc98), and <span xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" class="trademark">UltraSPARC</span>® machines
+ (sparc64). Versions for the <span xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" class="trademark">ARM</span>® (arm), <span xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" class="trademark">MIPS</span>®
+ (mips), and <span xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" class="trademark">PowerPC</span>® (powerpc) architectures
+ are currently under development as well. FreeBSD works with
+ a wide variety of peripherals and configurations and can be
+ used for everything from software development to games to
+ Internet Service Provision. </p><p xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/transitional">This release of FreeBSD contains everything you need to run
+ such a system, including full source code for the kernel and
+ all utilities in the base distribution. With the source
+ distribution installed, you can literally recompile the entire
+ system from scratch with one command, making it ideal for
+ students, researchers, or users who simply want to see how it
+ all works. </p><p xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/transitional">A large collection of third-party ported software (the
+ <span xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" class="quote">“<span class="quote">Ports Collection</span>”</span>) is also provided to make it
+ easy to obtain and install all your favorite traditional
+ <span xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" class="trademark">UNIX</span>® utilities for FreeBSD. Each <span xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" class="quote">“<span class="quote">port</span>”</span> consists
+ of a set of scripts to retrieve, configure, build, and install
+ a piece of software, with a single command. Over
+ 24,000 ports, from editors to programming languages to
+ graphical applications, make FreeBSD a powerful and comprehensive
+ operating environment that extends far beyond what's provided
+ by many commercial versions of <span xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" class="trademark">UNIX</span>®. Most ports are also
+ available as pre-compiled <span xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" class="quote">“<span class="quote">packages</span>”</span>, which can
+ be quickly installed from the installation program. </p></div><div class="sect2"><div xmlns="" class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" class="title"><a id="intro-audience"></a>1.2.

On-line versions of the <a xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" class="link" href="../../../../doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/" target="_top">Handbook</a> and <a xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" class="link" href="../../../../doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/" target="_top">FAQ</a> are always

+ page</a> or its mirrors. If you install the
+ <code xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" class="filename">doc</code> distribution set, you can use a Web
+ browser to read the Handbook and FAQ locally. In particular,
+ note that the Handbook contains a step-by-step guide to
+ installing FreeBSD. </p><p xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/transitional">A number of on-line books and articles, also maintained by
+ the FreeBSD Project, cover more-specialized, FreeBSD-related topics.
+ This material spans a wide range of topics, from effective use
+ of the mailing lists, to dual-booting FreeBSD with other
+ operating systems, to guidelines for new committers. Like the
+ Handbook and FAQ, these documents are available from the FreeBSD
+ Documentation Page or in the <code xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" class="filename">doc</code>
+ distribution set. </p><p xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/transitional">A listing of other books and documents about FreeBSD can be
