The guides in this book are constructed to provide information in a standard format. The book consists of two parts: Part I, "The Base System," and Part II, "Third-Party Applications."

Part I provides information on installing the FreeBSD operating system. This section of the book also contains important information on setting up your base FreeBSD environment and updating the ports collection. If you need more information on the FreeBSD operating system, consult the FreeBSD Handbook. It is an invaluable resource and can be found on the Web at http://freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook.

Part II constitutes the bulk of this book. This section provides the information you'll need to install and configure software using the ports collection. Applications are divided into individual modules that are arranged alphabetically, minimizing the need to search indexes or tables of contents.

The applications covered in this book were carefully selected. A balance between stability and available support were determining factors in choosing which applications would be included. Stability is paramount in server environments. Community support is also very important for long-term viability of an application; a well-supported application means that resources will be available to you if you need help. Community support also encourages development efforts, which may lead to faster responses to bugs or security issues.
