Links

Here you find link to FreeBSD related websites and resources. If you’d like to see any more (of your) sites added, please let me know .

This is a non-exhaustive list of resources on FreeBSD that can be useful for PC-BSD / DesktopBSD users too. Since PC-BSD / DesktopBSD have a fully functional FreeBSD system included, the majority of FreeBSD material and most adjustments that you make for FreeBSD also work for PC-BSD / DesktopBSD.

Please note that some of the pages/websites below are dated, but they’re nevertheless still useful. If you know of any websites or links that i’ve missed out, please add them as comments, and I’ll get the list updated.
