-Welcome to FreeBSD!
+Welcome to FreeBSD! Handy technical support resources:
-Before seeking technical support, please use the following resources:
+Security advisories and errata: https://www.FreeBSD.org/releases/
+Handbook: https://www.FreeBSD.org/handbook/
+FAQ: https://www.FreeBSD.org/faq/
+Mailing list: https://lists.FreeBSD.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions/
+Forums: https://forums.FreeBSD.org/
-o Security advisories and updated errata information for all releases are
- at http://www.FreeBSD.org/releases/ - always consult the ERRATA section
- for your release first as it's updated frequently.
+Documents installed with the system are in the /usr/local/share/doc/freebsd/
+directory, or can be installed later with: pkg install en-freebsd-doc
+For other languages, replace "en" with a language code like de or fr.
-o The Handbook and FAQ documents are at http://www.FreeBSD.org/ and,
- along with the mailing lists, can be searched by going to
- http://www.FreeBSD.org/search/. If the doc package has been installed
- (or fetched via pkg install lang-freebsd-doc, where lang is the
- 2-letter language code, e.g. en), they are also available formatted
- in /usr/local/share/doc/freebsd.
+Show the version of FreeBSD installed: uname -a
+Please include that output and any error messages when posting questions.
-If you still have a question or problem, please take the output of
-`uname -a', along with any relevant error messages, and email it
-as a question to the questions@FreeBSD.org mailing list. If you are
-unfamiliar with FreeBSD's directory layout, please refer to the hier(7)
-manual page. If you are not familiar with manual pages, type `man man'.
+Introduction to manual pages: man man
+FreeBSD directory layout: man hier
