About the Technical Reviewers

John Baldwin joined the FreeBSD Project as a committer in 1999. He has worked in several areas of the system, including SMP infrastructure, the network stack, virtual memory, and device driver support. John has served on the Core and Release Engineering teams and organized several FreeBSD developer summits.

Benno Rice has been using FreeBSD since 1995 and has been a committer since 2000 when he started the PowerPC port. Since then he has worked in a variety of areas and for a number of FreeBSD-using companies. He has also served on the Core Team and presented on FreeBSD-related topics at several conferences.

George V. Neville-Neil works on networking and operating system code for fun and profit. His areas of interest are code spelunking, operating systems, networking, and time protocols. He is the co-author with Marshall Kirk McKusick and Robert N. M. Watson of The Design and Implementation of the FreeBSD Operating System (Addison-Wesley Professional, 2004).

BRIEF CONTENTS
FOREWORD

I am happy to write the foreword to Michael Lucass third edition of Absolute FreeBSD. For 15 years, Michaels Absolute series has provided the definitive guide to BSD software, filling in the whats and whys left unexplained by the detailed but largely factual documentation. And, as its name implies, it distills to its essence the enormous volume of FreeBSD documentation so that those new to the system can get up to speed quickly.

Michael is an important contributor to the FreeBSD community. He has filled many of the roles that contributors can take: answering questions, filling in pieces of missing documentation, helping to make connections in the community, and generally identifying and facilitating the things that need to be done. Michael has interacted with thousands of people: hobbyists, professional software developers, system administrators, and university professors. Much of his real-world experience and understanding of what people are trying to get done has been distilled into this book.

I have been involved with the BSD software since its beginning in 1977 as a student project of my office mate, Bill Joy, at the University of California at Berkeley. By 1980, the BSD distributions had grown from a few programs that could be added to an AT&T UNIX system to a complete system coordinated by four people who called themselves the Computer Systems Research Group (CRSG). By 1983, the socket interface had been designed and TCP/IP had been implemented underneath it, allowing a small set of trusted external contributors to log into the CSRG development machines over the ARPAnet (which later became the internet) and directly update the sources using SCCS, a very early source code control system. The CSRG staff could then use SCCS to track changes and verify them before doing distributions. This structure formed the basis for the current BSD-based projects once BSD was spun off from the university as open source in 1992.

Starting with the open-source distribution, FreeBSD initially ran on only the early PC computers. Over the past quarter century, thousands of developers have contributed to FreeBSD to make it into a powerful network operating system with state-of-the-art features that runs on all the modern computing platforms. FreeBSD powers core internet companies worldwide. From Netflix movie distribution to WhatsApp messaging, from Network Appliance and Dell/Isilon storage products to Juniper routers, from the foundation of Apples iOS to the base libraries and services of Googles Android, it is hard to throw a rock at the internet without hitting FreeBSD. However, FreeBSD is not the product of any one company, but of a large open source community: the FreeBSD Project, made up of developers, users, and countless supporters and advocates. While you can, as many people do, use FreeBSD simply as a piece of software without ever interacting with that community, you can significantly enrich your FreeBSD experience by becoming a part of that community.
