The FreeBSD Project runs a number of Internet mailing lists dedicated to the discussion of FreeBSD and related topics. Users with access to Internet mail are encouraged to subscribe to the lists that interest them and ask questions. The procedure is quite simple, just send a mail message to: majordomo@freebsd.org with a message body of: subscribe listname where listname is one of the lists described below. You can subscribe to multiple lists with a single message by having several subscribe lines.
