An anonymous reader writes "Mad Penguin's Adam Doxtater and Narayan Newton have launched a community-driven site dedicated to bringing the power and depth of the FreeBSD Handbook to Slackware Linux users. The site allows for the community to create and edit its own content. A simple voting system is in place to make sure the content that makes it into the handbook is of the highest quality. This is something that has been needed for some time and the idea of being able to edit our own material is really nice. A very unique project. Read the press release at LinuxPR.com."

learn something from your elder masters. FreeBSD is the one true operating system; it starts with good documentation, but that's only the beginning. The original poster wasn't kidding -- The FreeBSD Handbook does rock, but it rocks beacuse FreeBSD is powerful, yet easy to use. Further, unlike Linux, which is being torn in various directions by its corporate overlords, FreeBSD just plods along the way we techies like it. So, please _do_ enjoy the FreeBSD handbook. But you might want to feel what its like to have a seriously solid OS supporting your system.
