Summary: info server for freebsd available
Keywords: info freebsd freebsd.org

For a short information packet on FreeBSD, send mail to:

		info@FreeBSD.org

This will send you back an automated reply giving you a little general
information about FreeBSD and instructions about where to go for more
help.

This is only the first, somewhat crude, incarnation of this service and I
do have plans to make future versions handle doc service, small volume
source requests, bug fixes and bug fix info, etc.  Any suggestions are
of course welcomed!  Any contributions of automated doc server code
for majordomo (in PERL) are even more welcome! ;-)

To avoid confusion, I should also take this opportunity to announce the
creation of the FreeBSD.org domain.  You may send mail to team members or
mailing lists at FreeBSD.org (e.g. "hackers@FreeBSD.org") or get access to
the latest FreeBSD sources at ftp.freeBSD.org.  Mail to the "old"
addresses at freefall.cdrom.com will still, of course, work - this is
simply for convenience (a lot easier to remember)!

Thanks!
