Users migrating to FreeBSD from another <trademark class="registered">UNIX</trademark>-like environment will find FreeBSD to be similar. <trademark class="registered">Windows</trademark> and <trademark class="registered">MacOS</trademark> users may be interested in instead using <link xlink:href="https://www.trueosghostbsd.org/">GhostBSD</link>, <link xlink:href="https://www.midnightbsd.org/">MidnightBSD</link> or <link xlink:href="https://nomadbsd.org/">TrueOSNomadBSD</link>, a three FreeBSD-based desktop distributions. Non-<trademark class="registered">UNIX</trademark> users should expect to invest some additional time learning the <trademark class="registered">UNIX</trademark> way of doing things. This <acronym>FAQ</acronym> and the <link xlink:href="@@URL_RELPREFIX@@/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html">FreeBSD Handbook</link> are excellent places to start.
Use Subversion if custom patches to the ports tree are needed or if running FreeBSD-CURRENT. Refer to <link xlink:href="@@URL_RELPREFIX@@/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/svn.html">Using Subversion</link> for details.
So the <trademark class="registered">PostScript</trademark>PDF version of the Handbook, compressed using <literal>bzip2</literal> will be stored in a file called <filename>book.psdf.bz2</filename> in the <filename>handbook/</filename> directory.
Yes. The documentation is available in a number of different formats and compression schemes on the FreeBSD FTP site, in the <link xlink:href="https://download.freebsd.org/ftp/doc/">/pub/FreeBSDftp/doc/</link> directory.
