== Introduction ==
For all of the articles contained within, I am going to make the assumption that you have at least a basic knowledge of the command line in FreeBSD. If you are new to FreeBSD all hope is not lost. The [//www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/ FreeBSD Handbook] is the primary source of documentation produced by the FreeBSD Documentation Project. Aside from this recently there has also been another great article written by Paul Venezia at InfoWorld entitled [//www.infoworld.com/d/data-center/why-arent-you-using-freebsd-178119 Why aren't you using FreeBSD?]. If you are familiar with Linux but new to FreeBSD there is the [//www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/linux-users/index.html FreeBSD Quickstart Guide for Linux Users]. Last but not least if you are coming over from Windows you can take a look at [//vtbsd.net/notwindows.html FreeBSD is NOT Windows]. There are many more resources out there on the net, this is merely a small list to get you started.

== Obtaining FreeBSD ==

The first thing you are going to need is a copy of the most current {{mono|*-dvd1.iso}}, {{mono|*-release.iso}} or {{mono|*-memstick.img}} FreeBSD image (the other images do not contain the livefs that is needed). FreeBSD may be obtained from [//torrents.freebsd.org:8080/ torrent], an [//www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/mirrors-ftp.html FTP mirror] near you, or from [//pub.allbsd.org/FreeBSD-snapshots/ FreeBSD Daily Snapshots].

== Getting Started ==
This is a series of articles I have written to get you started with FreeBSD, these will be covering everything from install, upgrading, configuring, hardening, and basic admin/user procedures. This is a work in progress.
