FreeBSD docs a good start to start the journey? reddit / freebsd ---------------------------------------------------------------------- sreto78 路 2023-04-04 19:08 i have an veeery old notebook (Toshiba tecra s2) and wanted to give this machine a new life. Learning about unix and so on. Are the docs on https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/ a good start for this? Or does someone has any recommendations? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- paprok 路 2023-04-04 19:24 > good start for this? absolutely.
